Mestre Mindinho started training Capoeira over 30 years ago in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After emigrating to the United States in 2001, he settled into his new home and founded the San Diego branch of Capoeira Brasil.

An amazing Capoeirista and teacher, Mestre Mindinho is a multifaceted artist who has found his life's calling in sharing his expertise with others around the world. Currently in high demand for his highly popular lectures and seminars on different aspects of Capoeira, he has been invited to teach, play, and perform in over 15 countries on 4 continents, as well as participating in multiple TV shows and marketing campaigns.


Mindinho师傅30年前在巴西里约热内卢开始了巴西战舞生涯。2001年他移民到美国在那里定居并成立了巴西战舞capoeira brasil流派圣地亚哥分支。

Mindinho师傅不仅仅是一个很优秀的巴西战舞学者和教授，他还是一个随时随地愿意跟世界各地的人分享自己所长的多方面艺术家。由于世界各地对他在巴西战舞各方面超高人气的讲座和研讨会的大量需求，他被邀请到遍布四个大陆的15多个国家去授课、展示和表演巴西战舞，还参加了很多电视节目和大型营销活动。

Chumbinho is originally from Sydney Australia graduated Formando level (brown cord) of Capoeira Brazil in 2012 under the direction of Mestre Peixe Ensaboado along with the supervision of 2 of Capoeira Brazils 3 founding masters Mestre Boneco & Mestre Paulao.
Chumbinho has been training Capoeira since 1994 in Sydney Australia under Mestre Peixe and has participated in many international events, workshops and performance.
After starting a small team in Sydneys Central Coast in 2000, Chumbinho then started to travel to Japan to assist in the setting up of the Capoeira Brazil school in Osaka in 2003. In 2005 Chumbinho handed over the reigns of the Central Coast branch to be able to move on to another challenge.
That challenge came in the form of relocating to Hong Kong in May 2005 specifically to start teaching Capoeira there and experiment if this artform and culture from Brazil would fit into and be accepted by a culture that already has its own long history and roots in its own style of martial arts of Kung Fu.
Since then Chumbinho and his team have been able to bring Capoeira into the lives of thousands of Hong Kong people persoanlly through workshops, performance and demonstrations and have also been able to demonstrate Capoeira to the millions of people through means of media such as television, newspapers and magazines.
Formando Chumbinho has also been involved in workshops, grading events, performance and demonstration in many major cities of China, Taiwan, Macao, Japan, Malaysia and Singapore.

Chumbinho来自澳大利亚悉尼，在Peixe Ensaboado师傅的指导和巴西战舞Capoeira Brasil流派的两位创始人Boneco和Paulao师傅的监督下，于2012年获得了巴西战舞棕色段位。
Chumbinho从1994在悉尼开始跟随Piexi师傅学习巴西战舞，并参与了很多国际化活动、学习研讨工作室和表演。
2000年Chumbinho在悉尼中央海岸成立了一个小团队，之后在2003年便远行来到日本，协助巴西战舞Capoeira Brasil流派在大阪的设立。2005年Chumbinho把悉尼中央海岸分部的管理权交给了别人以准备接受新的挑战。
2005年5月，Chumbinho迎来了这个新的挑战。他专程搬到香港，在那里教授巴西战舞课程，这也是一个实验，关于这门来自巴西的艺术形式和文化是否能适应一个中国功夫根深蒂固的文化并且被接受。
从那之后，Chumbinho和他的团队通过工作室、演出和展示把巴西战舞带入了成百上千香港人民的生活中，还通过各种媒体工具如电视、报纸和杂志把巴西战舞展示给了几百万香港人。
此外，Chumbinho也参与过中国许多大城市、台湾、澳门、日本、马来西亚和新加坡的各种巴西战舞工作室、升级活动、演出和展示。
