Primary Capoeira Teacher:
Mestre Virgulino
Cordel:

Capoeira Apelido and its meaning/explanation:
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.
Hometown:
Cleveland, Ohio
Relationship Status:
In a Relationship
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.

See you this weekend!

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! :)
