🇧🇷 Contra Mestre DVD | Founder of Tribo Capoeira

Born in São Paulo, Brazil, I’ve proudly called Australia home since 2008, sharing the art, culture, and philosophy of Capoeira.

My martial arts journey began at just 7 years old. Over the years, I trained in Karate, Boxing, and Muay Thai, but it was Capoeira that truly captured my heart and became my life’s calling.

My journey hasn’t been easy. I’ve faced loss, separation, serious health battles, and moments that tested every part of who I am. Through it all, Capoeira has been my foundation. It taught me that every fall is an opportunity to rise stronger—with humility, resilience, and purpose.

More than a martial art, Capoeira has given me friends who have become family, unforgettable experiences, and a community that has stood by me through every stage of life. It has shaped the person I am today.

For over two decades, I’ve dedicated my life to preserving and sharing this incredible art. Along the way, I’ve recorded three Capoeira albums, received an Honorary Doctorate for my contribution to teaching Capoeira in Australia, and continue to grow as a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and lifelong student.

Today, my mission goes beyond teaching kicks and acrobatics. I want to help children and adults build confidence, discipline, respect, resilience, and the courage to overcome life’s challenges—both inside and outside the roda.

Every student has a story. Every roda is a new beginning.

Train with purpose. Lead with humility. Build friendships for life.

Welcome to the Tribo.

Capoeira teaches you that sometimes the world makes more sense upside down.

A different perspective changes everything. 🙃🌎

Two girls. One game. Endless possibilities.

Capoeira is more than movement—it’s confidence, friendship, creativity, and learning to support each other while having fun. Watching these two share the roda reminds us that some of the best lessons happen through play.

Power, balance and flow.
