Now THAT would be something super interesting to look into! How students might influence their teachers over time, especially if for ex. it was someone who grew up in Brazil and then moved to another country to teach.

You’re very right actually, thinking back, the person in charge of the academy has an almost singular influence over how it’s run and how the general philosophy and atmosphere of the place turns out.

Thanks so much…and if you ever do end up doing that study, I’d love to see what you come up with!

Panama you are exactly right about coastal differences by the way. I have been on both also and that is a very accurate description.

Joaninha, I love the posts but I keep coming back because the suspense is killing me!! What are the surprises?! I promise not to tell anyone else ;)

Some of this was influenced by the region I was in. West coast groups were more relaxed and East Coast groups more aggressive and competitive. But even within one region or under one Mestre each group had their own capoeira culture. Some groups were super laid back, others super strict, some were in between. The styles varied greatly, too–even if I was training with sister groups of my own group.

I thinks it’s hard to figure out how much the culture at large influences capoeira culture. I think a lot of it has to do with the instructor and his or her own personality. But then the students also influence the instructor in some way, too.

Great post! Keep up the great work!
