Welcome to the virtual roda. As in a real roda the games are controlled by the soul of capoeira - listen to the music, and play that kind of game. If you have any complaints about material on this forum please contact Brabo at [email protected].

What relationship does CMA have with other capoeira schools in New Zealand? Are their any other schools in NZ? if so who are they and what are different peoples thoughts on them?

I think the relationships between groups are all good. there seems to be a mutual respect towards each other. i can only think of 4 other groups off the top of my head, there's Mestre China's, Prof Juniors, Capoeira Brazil (the Mount), and that Aruande group in dirty south( dont know much about these guys). personally i like the attitudes of the other groups, they have always been nice to me. haven't really come across any bad attitudes (yet lol). at the end of the day all the groups are trying to promote capoeira. the more capoeira, the better. variety always adds spice to life and makes it that much more interesting. cheers!

i also like the idea of knowing i could travel around NZ oneday and find capoeira been played in small towns.I recently found an old face from CMA now playing with Aruande in the deep south.

Variety...yeah,spice of life!

you don't travel very much do you ra? we haven't seen you in the roda here!

Tucano, to go from the observation that you have not seen Ra in a roda here (Auckland?) to conclude that Ra does not travel much seems like an inductive generalization.

Ra, did you use "idea" to mean a potential experience, as in:

The idea of social equality is desirable.
(But we don't have social equality)

Or did you mean

(a). you travel to other cities/towns
(b). you know that there's a roda in the cities/towns that you travel to
(c). you like knowing (b)?

I didn't express myself clearly; I was trying to concept check but it looks like a multi-choice question.

Yes, Tucano, you may, once again, call me a clown if you wish. In a loving way of course :)

Mestre China and Prof Juniors? where are these guys at?

Hey George/Cai Cai,
Mestre China and Professor (or Contra Mestre?) Junior both have groups in Auckland (although I'm not sure if either of them is still in Auckland themselves, or when/where their classes are, or even if they're still running classes). There's also a branch of Mestre China's group here in Wellington, but I haven't seen or heard from them in a while, so again, not sure if their classes are still running. Tulio (Capoeira Brasil) teaches in Mount Maunganui as Ra already mentioned, they're having their first Batizado at the end of the year. The Aruande Group is down in Dunedin, Mestre Brabo is visiting them for their Batizado (his first official invitation as a Mestre) next month. There's also a (somewhat) independent group in Palmerston North and I think there's also a group in Nelson (not sure of their affiliation).

My own impression of every other group I've encountered here in New Zealand is that there's more of a contemporary/regional focus, less inside game and less ground game. Of course that's just my perspective, I think it's something you have to see for yourself. Hope this helps a little.
