Chegando em mais um final de ano, quero aqui, reforcar meu apreço a esse grupo que muito me tem feito sentir pertencente a uma familia capoeiristica.

Infelizmente todo caminho árduo representa trabalho, disciplina, humildade e dedicação. Estamos a cada dia mais maduros enquanto grupo que se afirma no cenário internacional da capoeira, aceitando sem vacilar os desafios que o próprio desenvolvimento da arte nos oferece e nos anima a continuar. Acreditando sempre em nossa união que nos fortalece e na possibilidade de continuarmos sempre a reconhecer nós próprios no rosto de cada um, nos apresentamos sem o artíficio de uma máscara que poderia esconder uma face envergonhada.

Nosso olhar continua preso nos olhos de quem esta à nossa frente e digo com a certeza de que, ao afirmar isso na primeira pessoa, estou sendo representativo de toda a familia União na Capoeira, que, desde os tempos da lama grudenta do Bumba-meu-Boi, vem trazendo para Sobradinho um destaque entre as cidades brasileiras que são berco de um grupo que defende com honestidade a arte que desenvolve, espalhando para o velho continente europeu e América do Norte, no distante Canadá.

Vamos seguindo em frente, com nossos projetos e sonhos de uma vida melhor para cada elemento do grupo. Todavia, é certo que ninguem nunca assinou nenhum contrato vitalício com o Grupo Uniao na Capoeira e se nossa porta esta sempre aberta para receber quem pede para entrar, da mesma forma ela está pra quem deseja seguir outro caminho, sem o prejuízo de uma amizade, consideração ou respeito. Pois quem sabe pedir para entrar, com certeza terá a honestidade na exata medida para comunicar o início de um novo caminho.

Desejo a todos voces, Mestres, Contramestres, Professores e demais alunos do Grupo União na Capoeira, um natal feliz e harmonioso e um ano de 2012 muito mais produtivo, feliz e com renovadas forças para mais uma jornada de caminhada.

Paz e harmonia para todos,

Com carinho,
Mestre Umoi.

Arriving at the end of another year, I wish to reinforce my appreciation to this group which has made me feel part of a family capoeiristica.

Unfortunately every path is hard work, discipline, humility and dedication. We are ever more mature as a group that is affirmed on the international area of capoeira without hesitation accepting the challenges that the very development of the art offers us and encourages us to continue. Always believing in our union that strengthens us and we are always able to recognize ourselves in the face of every one we present ourselfs without the artifice of a mask that could hide an embarrassed face.

Our gaze is still stuck in the eyes of those ahead of us and say with certainty that that in the first person to say this, I’m being representative of the entire family in União Capoeira, which since the days of sticky mud of Bumba-meu-Boi, is bringing Sobradinho as a highlight among the Brazilian cities that are home to a group that advocates honestly the art that it practices, spreading to the old continent of Europe and North America, in distant Canada.

Let’s move forward with our plans and dreams of a better life for each group element. However, it is certain that no one ever signed any lifetime contract with the Grupo União na Capoeira and our door is always open for those seeking to enter, as it is for those who want to follow another path, without the loss of a friendship, consideration or respect. Well, who knows how to ask to join has surely the honesty to the same extent to communicate the beginning of a new path.

I wish all of you Masters, Contra-Mestres, Professors and other students do Grupo União na Capoeira, a happy and harmonious Christmas and year of 2012 much more productive, happy and with renewed strength for another journey .

Peace and harmony for all,

With love,
Mestre Umoi.

Our roda at the Trinity Bellwoods was a success!  We had a 30 minute demonstration, with the help of some of our friends from Axe Capoeira and Capoeira Aruande – Obrigada!   

Our batizado is coming up.. and fundraising is underway.  We will be holding a raffle on the day of the batizado… giving away free classes, apparel, DVD’s and jewelry… all in some way related to capoeira and at the same time, supporting our group.  Tickets will be available as of today, July 5, 2011 in class… please come and see me (Coelha) to get your share to sell!  Let’s pull together to make this happen…

See you in class!

Axe, Coelha
