MESTRE BIMBA

Mestre Bimba

In 1937, Mestre Bimba was invited to demonstrate his art in front of president GetĂșlio Vargas. After this performance, he was given permission to open the first capoeira school in Brazil. Since that time, capoeira has been officially recognized as a national sport, and has spread around the world. Mestre Bimba’s systematization and teaching of capoeira made a tremendous contribution to the capoeira community.
