< About Mestre Poloca >
Mestre Poloca started playing capoeira in 1983 in Salvador, BA with the group GCAP. Under the leadership of Mestre Moraes, Poloca later claimed the title of the second Mestre of the GCAP.

In 1995, Poloca founded the group Nzinga with two of the most important women in the capoeira community, Mestre Janja and Mestre Paulinha. 

Mestre Poloca highly prioritizes children and education, and organizes a weekly cinema project for local youth.

His playful and fluid style inspirers many capoeira practitioners. It is a great privilege to welcome him to Kyoto.
