The “SACRED MOVEMENTS” of PGCA CAPOEIRA
Capoeira de Angola is an African Martial Science based in the ancient art of Ngolo, also known as the “Zebra Dance”. This was part of the Rites of Passage that was required for young men and women in West African societies as they made their transition from childhood to adulthood. The adult who possessed the greatest skill was considered to be more valuable than Gold. Today, this art assists in teaching our children how to be effective members of society; having respect for self, respect for elders, respect for family respect for the community, and respect for our planet.
We are Pastinha's Garden of Capoeira de Angola. We are of the Linage of Mestre Pastinha through Mestre Joao Grande. We only pass on the Traditional Capoeira de Angola as handed down from Mestre Joao Grande to Ed “Cubano” Martin.
In "Pastinha's Garden", we utilize Precision Based Technology taught through specific curriculum for the purpose of giving the student a high level understanding of the "game" that we call Capoeira.
PGCA is not a "movement based" Capoeira, we have a holistic approach that is rooted in the understanding of principles that we call "fundamental Movements".
