till 1989 - Mestre Paulão Ceará trained and gave classes in the capoeira group “Grupo Senzala”.<br />
1989 - He founded Grupo <strong>Capoeira</strong> Brasil together with Mestre Boneco and Mestre Paulinho Sabiá,<br />
he continued with further development of capoeira from Fortaleza in Ceará - <strong>Brazil</strong>.<br />
The group grew fast and became one of the style provision organizations in <strong>Brazil</strong>.<br />
1993 - Mestre Paulão moved to Europe and gave his part in defining capoeira in Europe.<br />
Mestre Paulão Ceará trained European students to become teachers, and also brought some of<br />
his <strong>Brazil</strong>ian students to Europe so they can give classes across Europe. Meanwhile, Grupo<br />
<strong>Capoeira</strong> Brasil has schools in The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Poland,<br />
Sweden and many more Countries. The Classes are given by students with the levels of<br />
Graudado, Instrutor, Professor, Formando and formado/mestre. All under the supervision<br />
of Mestre Paulão Ceará.<br />
Since 1993 - Mestre Paulão has given countless workshops, TV-show appearances and<br />
demonstrations across Europe and he gets invited to numerous <strong>Capoeira</strong> festivals, batizados<br />
and other activities. Mestre Paulão also appeared in several DVDs and an instructional manual<br />
of Grupo <strong>Capoeira</strong> Brasil.<br />
I met Mestre Paulao in <strong>Brazil</strong> in 1999 during my first visit to Group <strong>Capoeira</strong> Brasil- Rio de Janeiro at<br />
Mestre Boneco’s event.<br />
His precision of techniques and knowledge always intrigued me and made me think that the trilogy<br />
of our group was well balanced with 3 different Masters and lineage that complements each other<br />
benefiting and empowering the group.<br />
For the first time in Australia we will have the honour to have Mestre Paulao<br />
do Ceara as a special guest of Mestre Peixe’s 10th Intensive <strong>Capoeira</strong> workshops.<br />
Capoeiristas, you can not miss the opportunity!!!!!!!<br />

Song of the Month...<br />
* SOU CAPOEIRA - MESTRE SUASSUNA - CORDAO DE OURO<br />
Sou capoeira olha eu sei que sou,<br />
Eu vim aqui foi para jogar<br />
Faco bonito so porque tenho talento<br />
E solto meus movimentos com a voz no coracao<br />
Que amor e esse, que trago no coracao<br />
E uma alegria uma vontade de gingar<br />
Sao Bento Grande, Iuna, Cavalaria<br />
Quando toca me arrepia, hoje e dia de jogar!<br />
E o cantador solta a voz pro povo ouvir<br />
Berimbau viola arma a roda e marca o som<br />
A Meia Lua e ligeira e corta o vento<br />
<strong>Capoeira</strong> joga dentro como o Mestre me ensinou<br />
Sou capoeira olha eu sei que sou,<br />
Eu vim aqui foi para jogar<br />
Faco bonito so porque tenho talento<br />
E solto meus movimentos com a voz no coracao<br />
E o capoeira e astuto e velhaco<br />
E inimigo do perigo e confusao<br />
Mas ele sabe o valor de uma vida<br />
Por isso corre de briga e quer mais e vadiar<br />
I am capoeira, look, I know I am,<br />
I came here, it was to play<br />
I do beautiful just because I have talent<br />
I perform my movements with a voice in my heart<br />
What love is this, that I bring in my heart<br />
It is happiness, it’s a desire to gingar<br />
Sao Bento Grande, Iuna, Cavalaria<br />
When it plays it gives me goose pumps, today is the day to play day!<br />
And the singer lets out their voice for everyone to hear<br />
Berimbau viola form the “roda” marks the rhythm<br />
The Meia Lua is fast and cuts the wind<br />
The player plays close as the Master taught me<br />
I am capoeira, look, I know that I am,<br />
I came here, it was to play<br />
I do beautiful just because I have talent<br />
I perform my movements with a voice in my heart<br />
And the player is astute and rascal<br />
It’s enemy of danger and confusion<br />
But he knows the valor of a life<br />
Therefore he avoids fighting and wants to have fun
Movement of the month “S - DOBRADO” by Mulan<br />
S-DOBRADO:<br />
1) Initial Position : The body weight must be over the front leg<br />
2) With the support of one hand on the floor (outside the front leg) you will<br />
swing the back leg in front of you, creating momentum<br />
3) Soon the leg passes across and you start to go up, you will shift the body<br />
weight to the other side placing the other hand on the floor<br />
4) Using the momentum of the straight leg and the arm in the air, you will<br />
look to apply an AU / MACACO (to get your both legs up and straight)<br />
5) Change the opposite leg to land and finalise the movement.<br />

Dear students and parents!!<br />
With the end of the year approaching, it is time to start to think about “ how can I work for my grading next year? “<br />
As you know it is a lot to organise and would be much easier if we form committee and sub-commits that will<br />
put together :<br />
1) Design logo for the event: that will go on: banner, sponsor proposal, t-shirts, poster, flyers.<br />
2) Organise a sponsor proposal.<br />
3) Apply for Governmental and Council grants.<br />
4) Find private sponsors: restaurants, hotel, cafes, airlines, donation...<br />
5) T-shirt.<br />
6) We can start to ask for donations of goods such as: vouchers<br />
(for restaurants, clothes, specifics classes personal training, yoga,<br />
Pilates, etc..., treatments massages, acupunctures, osteopathy, etc...,)<br />
for the ruffles and Quiz night with prizes.<br />
7) Donation of art: sculpture, paintings, photography, etc... for the Art Auction<br />
8) Feijoada Night with life music and prizes.<br />
9) Singing Competition with prizes.<br />
