“I’ve been training at Mestando Paraíba’s academy for years, since before he made the huge decision to branch out on his own, founding Capoeira Bamba. THE GROUP: Capoeira Bamba is the only capoeira group that offers classes six days a week. There is a friendly, energetic, and supportive vibe; everyone is welcome – regardless of skill or fitness level. I’m a queer, middle-aged woman of colour. Although capoeira is often known to be a ‘macho’ and intimidating martial art, I feel at home at Capoeira Bamba. There are members from all walks of life and we get along swimmingly. Many of the students make fast friends and hang out or practice outside of class. THE INSTRUCTORS: Mestrando Paraíba: Training since the age of 12, Mestrando Paraíba is a skilled and experienced capoeirista. As an instructor and mentor, I’ve seen him grow leaps and bounds over the last several years – both in wisdom and methodology. Although he hails from an incredibly strict and rigid training background, M. Paraíba strives to offer autonomy and flexibility to his students. He often demonstrates modified exercises to accommodate the needs of different students. He listens to feedback and takes it to heart. While he admits, teaching children was not always his strong suit, he has really come into his own. I’ve seen him teach several children’s classes and the kids LOVE him. He strikes the perfect balance between structure and fun. Great behaviour management and anti-bullying strategies, too. I’ll admit, sometimes M. Paraíba can come across as a bit intimidating, but he has a big heart, always giving it his all and cracking a funny joke here and there! He is such an excellent, well-rounded instructor with just the right amount of toughness to get you motivated. Instrutora Neném: What can I say? Instrutora Neném is a ray of sunshine! She is bubbly, kind, warm, and hilarious; but don’t let that distract from the fact that she is an accomplished capoeirista and instructor who kicks some serious butt! Her teaching style is easygoing and she breaks down moves in a way that a toddler can understand — speaking of which, she is amazing at teaching little ones! As a former elementary teacher, I can appreciate how Neném effectively differentiates instruction and holds kids’ attention. THE ACADEMY: The academy is the most beautiful capoeira facility I have ever seen. It is one of the only spaces dedicated entirely to capoeira. During the transition to becoming Capoeira Bamba, many students pitched in to help renovate the space. There is a definite sense of pride and ownership we feel towards it. The interior consists of beautiful dark, hardwood floors; a feature logo wall with hand-burned details, a funky graffiti accent wall by a local artist; and large, full-sized mirrors along most walls. Some of the equipment includes free weights, strength training and conditioning equipment, a heavy bag, a variety of martial arts pads and targets, gymnastics equipment, a large, inflatable gymnastics pad, etc. There is too much to list! Attendance is tracked by a barcode scanning system. Those with top attendance can win free private lessons from M. Paraíba.”
