Capoeira Apelido and its meaning/explanation:

...my professors says it is very hard to find an apelido for me...

In regional I was known as Maritaca. Maritaca is a parrot, you can find everywhere even on youtube, just do a search if you want to see it. I got that name after 3 weeks when I started Capoeira, the reason then was when I look at it today racistic in someway, not even funny, cause I got it due to not speaking brasilian and just speaking the portuguese the brasilian despise so much... he wanted to change my name then many times, cause I speak today brasilian, most brasilian even ask me as first question from wich state I am in Brasil when I meet them... but he had the same problem as most others, it is very hard to give me a name....

About Me:

Regional [Mai 1998 - Mai 2008]
Trained with Mestre Matias, Grupo Brasil Capoeira and was responsible for begginer classes in my town. (~4 years active, ~6 years inactive due to injuries and other things who happen in life)
Trained here and then when I got the chance to visit one of my best friends, Contramestre Folha, Grupo Luanda.

In 2000 I met the first Angoleiro in an Event and since then I guess I been looking inside me for what I met in the one Event. That is also a reason why I was so long off Regional, many times I don't felt like going to training cause I don't felt the whole.... so I abandoned and began my search for Angola....

Angola [September 2009 - till my heart beats the last time...]
Finally found a group! I started training with Professor Charel, Angoleiros do Mar. I do 8 hours by train/bus to be able to get into training two times a week, cause here in Switzerland there are only 3 Angola groups and about atleast 60 Regional Academias....
