Raízes do Brasil Capoeira - New York

Professor Eduardo started Capoeira at the age of 15 in Brasília, Brazil. After attending several different schools there, he finally found Raízes do Brasil capoeira! This group is notable not only for its dedication to the preservation and expression of native Brazilian culture, it also reflects an uncommon mix of the city's most affluent residents with its poorest. Children of senators and bank executives train with kids born and raised on the streets. Eduardo has been involved with other Brazilian Martial Arts since 1979. Today, with almost two decades of capoeira experience, he is contributing to spread the art and the culture of capoeira in New York City (USA). Professor Eduardo has performed and taught seminars for institutions such as The Juilliard School, NYU, Penn State University, Yale University, Princeton University, U.S. Marine Corps Headquarters Battalion and many more. He is also an educated person and recently acquired his Bachelor degree in Information Systems from a local New York City University, with a minor in Physical Education. To see Eduardo performing, is to see a powerful cultural expression and self-confidence built throughout the years of dedication to the Capoeira's world!
