Comments on: Contact http://mandingueira.com (noun, feminine): capoeira player who is skilled, experienced, intelligent, powerful, dangerous, and not to be underestimated Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:26:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Marcus Allen http://mandingueira.com/contact/#comment-1901 Thu, 13 Jan 2011 20:17:12 +0000 http://mandingueira.wordpress.com/contact/#comment-1901 I have been a fan of capoeira for many years but never made the time to play because of training in judo and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ). Many of the cultural discussions are very similar to the debates around judo, BJJ and MMA.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for compiling and sharing such informative and enlightening viewpoints!

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Marcus

Parabens pelo site! Amazing! All my admiration for your hard work.
I was hoping you could re-direct me onto info. about pregnancy + capoeira. I’m 2 months pregnant and have decided to stop movement classes as no-one seems to be sure about the risks, and doctors don’t really know what it involves.
Help!
And congrats again!

AXE!

I love your blog – it has always been a place for me to come to and feel like a part of a gender-conscious capoeira community. I’ve always played in male-dominated groups in Brazil and the U.S. and I so appreciate you keeping this space open for the discussion of gender issues in capoeira. I am always sending links of your posts to my group in the hopes that everyone will read them and become more well-rounded, knowledgeable and conscious players of capoeira. Keep up the amazing work. You are a source of inspiration to me.

Axé,
Canivete

I`m a capoeirist woman from Spain (www.aluacapoeira.com) and i’d like to say congratulations for you blog, really good!! It`s 8 years since I started doing capoeira, as you can imagine I’ve gone through so many experiences, good and bad moments, crisis, etc..in my capoeira training. For me it’s wonderful having found all this thoughts and emotions from a capoeirist woman, altogether in your site. I can’t identify more with you!!!

Axé!
Lola
P.D. I guess you are in Canada??

sou sentinela(alex), sou capoeira do grupo muzenza, em curitiba-brasil.
a pouco tempo iniciei o blog sobre a história da capoeira, e não são muitos os blogs sobre capoeira, que apresentam qualidade, contudo, foi incrivél encontrar o seu, além de uma qualidade visual boa, o conteudo é muito bom, sem citar o fato de ser um blog sobre capoeira feminina, e pra completar não é brasileiro (pelo menos não parece, já que está em ingles).

estou realmente admirado e contente com este blog.
desejo muita sorte para você, e muito axé.

ps. espero que saiba ler português do brasil, ou pelo menos conheça algum bom tradutor. se quiser entrar em contato, ficarei muito satisfeito em dar noticias sobre a terra mãe de nossa nobre arte da mandinga, a capoeira.

I agree with all your songs as mysoginistic with the exception of Dona Alice. While yes it is a song about a man telling a woman not to grab him (or perhaps a woman telling a woman not to grab her), I think the main point of the song is a clingy person, not specifically a woman. I suppose you could easily sing Don Maurice, nao me pege nao :)

There are a few others that have gotten my hackles up as well. If I can find them, I’ll flick them your way.

Axe,

Centrado

Thank you for visiting our Blog. I really love your site and has added it as a link in ours. We have alot of female students in our university who backed out from Capoeira because they have the notion that Capoeira is NOT for ladies. well your site provides just the education needed for them haha. Your link in our Blog is “Capoeira for WOMEN! myths Busted!”

Keep writing!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me that my blog actually helped you guys to do that…I think I’ve said from the start that encouraging critical thinking and discussion has always definitely one of my main goals here. =) Please feel free to join in on any of the discussions or debates you read here, and add a few perspectives of your own! ;)
