Workshops with Mestre Virgulino!! at the new pennsylvania capoeira studio located in the keple building on the 3rd floor suite 300. the entrance in near the alley next to gusto's. address is 323 N Queen St but entrance is to the left of the addres...
Corajoso (brave/courageous)
I first obtained this apelido when I tried to take down Mestre Amen in my first batisado with Capoeira Batuque, I didn't really know fear back then. I am sometimes afraid to hop into the roda, I admit. I think my apelido mostly applies to my bravery in visiting random capoeira schools, showing up unannounced, and participating in the classes and then leaving with new friends.

About Me:
I'm Deaf :)
I've been training for about six and half years.
I am very very proud to be a part of the Cordao De Ouro Capoeira family. This has provided me many opportunities with increased accessibility.
I established a Deaf Capoeira Club at Gallaudet University in Washington, DC. I teach classes, if you're interested in joining us for a class or roda, just email me! :)
If you're curious as to how I (a Deaf person) play, check out some videos of me at www.youtube.com/makacapoeira ! Feel free to comment on the videos or on this page. I'm open for feedback! I know I need to slow down sometime, haha! :)

Hi! My name is Holly. I am learning from Coqui in Lancaster. Can't wait to meet you at the workshop. I will be the one passed out in the corner, no doubt! ha! I have a hard enough time keeping up with Coqui, I can't even begin to imagine the beating I am going to take from mestre Virguilino, but I am ready!
Do you sign or read lips? My 9 year old son has Down syndrome and Autism. We use lots of ASL with him which has really helped his communication skills. My daughter with to a sign language camp when she was younger. She learned quickly. I just wish she had someone around to use it more frequently. Jake just uses a few signs at a time. No real dialog. Mia, my daughter will be at the workshops as well but I am not sure on all the days for her yet. She is in school since she is only 11.
yeah man that's the new logo from mestre virgulino!! hey he said he might actually have some stuff to sell and I ordered some pants but I need to add additional today, let me know if you need any, they will be here next week.

Hi JJ! Grupo ondas is performing at the International childrens festival at Wolf Trap next weekend, Sunday 14th. You are always welcome to come to the studio in Landmark Mall...why dont you drop by with some friends and play with us?

Oh I just saw your comment on my picture..lol well supposedly we are supposed to "feel" our opponents movement. A friend of mine tried to teach me to play a game with me blindfolded and i always find myself freaking out..but when im just told to close my eyes instead, I'm a bit more comfortable...lol It IS HARD! :)
