Capoeira - Mestre Marcelo Caveirinha & Other Mestres

1984 footage of Mestre Marcelo Caveirinha playing with: Mestre Risadinha, Mestre Preguiça, and Mestre Acordeon.
Mestre Caveirinha (Marcelo Pereira) is the founder of Capoeira Mandinga. Mestre Caveirinha was a student of Mestre Suassuna, who is the co-founder of "Associacao de Capoeira Cordão de Ouro". In 1984, Mestre Caveirinha left Brazil and settled in the United States. At that time, he was one of only three people teaching capoeira in the US. Mestre Caveirinha is also known as the real life incarnation of the Tekken video game character "Eddy Gordo."

Mestre Themba is also present. Respect to all the mestres, may they all have long lives and heal from any wounds. Carry forward the art and improve humanity.

For those who are wondering about Eddie's ginga in Tekken 8. The reason it looks different is because they made a new motion capture with a different person.

I didn't mean the Capoeira in general but more my mestre's style then vs. now. Both then and now are sweet of course.

New school capo is crap, they move really fast and that goes with the music too, the whole tempo is crazy. I did some capo classes n my teacher said if you wanna learn then the real capo is what you want but if you want all this flashy fast kicks and turns, join the circus.
