"I invite all capoeirista friends, and all admirers of Capoeira Angola, to participate and get to know a little of my work.

For 4 years, I have been writing this book, with the aim of transmitting, informing and disseminating Capoeira Angola. I want to record some of my knowledge inherited from Mestre João Pequeno and I hope to contribute with all this richness that is Capoeira Angola.

This book was based on the foundations, traditions and everything I have absorbed from my ancestors, I want to share this work with everyone, with the hope that there is continuity.

I wrote as a capoeirista inside and outside the roda because I know how important this theme is to all of us.

I thank all those who have contributed and are helping to make this dream come true, because it is very difficult especially when there is no support. However, I felt very confident and secure with the support of some capoeiristas, mestres and students of Grupo Semente do Jogo de Angola. I appreciate the trust and affection and hope that everyone can read and understand the message I am leaving.

I am ready to receive reviews, comments and praise because it is a way to grow in life.

There are only 200 copies of this book, but with advance reservations, only 50 copies remain"
