INSTRUTOR URI
Since 1996, I've embarked on an amazing journey through Capoeira, guided by the esteemed Mestre Preguiça, founder of Omulu Capoeira Group and a direct student of the legendary Mestre Bimba. This Afro-Brazilian martial art has wholeheartedly become an integral part of my life.
Throughout my journey, I've had the privilege of sharing the energy, rhythm, and grace of Capoeira through captivating performances that bring audiences into the heart of the roda. My community involvement has flourished as I've organized street rodas, inviting everyone to experience the spirit of Capoeira firsthand. Empowering others through workshops, I've helped many discover the physical, cultural, and mental benefits of this vibrant art form.
While my journey began with Omulu, I'm now honored to lead and founded the Sítio Alegre Capoeira Group. Sítio Alegre represents more than just a group—it’s a family united by our shared love for Capoeira.
To me, Capoeira transcends physical practice. It's a powerful tool for maintaining health and mental sharpness. It connects me deeply to Brazil’s rich heritage and the resilience of its people, resonating with my childhood memories in Nicaragua. The lively streets, warm community gatherings, and the spirit of resilience that shaped my early years are all reflected in my Capoeira practice. Additionally, Capoeira brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds, fostering understanding and unity.
Join me in celebrating this incredible art form that knows no boundaries!
