Who Is The Best Capoeirista?
Hint: there's no clear answer. There's not even a clear answer on what the criteria should be.

God Save Texas
M. Amen's The Freedom Project: https://www.gofundme.com/f/fuxpx-the-freedom-project
Azul fills us in on her recent, reinvigorating trip to a batizado in Texas. She talks about the importance of good music, the painful condescension of playing down to beginners, and why are there so many fewer female professors than male? -
The Gang Updates Capoeira
We discuss a joooooosee post from the subreddit about how capoeira should update itself. Bonzinho thinks the post misses the point entirely, Varal waffles in his usual manner, and Azul thinks we should punch more people in the face. Plus, the debut of a new segment: hot takes!

Customer Reviews
Funny, knowledgeable hosts
All of the hosts are fun to listen to and have quite varied viewpoints when it comes to basically everything, which makes for a really entertaining show. I love the multi-part format of every episode where a specific capoeira move is discussed before moving on to broader topics about teaching, learning and the capoeira community as a whole. Keep up the great work!
Best capoeira podcast around
While there are not a ton of capoeira podcasts out there, this is still quality content. The hosts all seem knowledgeable and have a good rapport, however, they regularly have different perspectives on the topics they cover.
And discussing capoeira move sets is not easy. They try (with varying degrees of success) to describe the move-of-the-day before diving into the details of the benefits, detractors, and teaching tips.
What separates this podcast from other capoeira podcasts is they are consistently putting out content, have a defined model, and the hosts seem to get along rather well without too many in-jokes. I hope they continue to build an audience and providing great material.
