capoeira cordao de ouro - monitora ocit

O que e mandinga – what is mandinga

Capoeira e infinita – capoeira is endless
tem comeco, mas nao tem fim - It has a start, but no end


one out of one thousand capoeira player is luky to be born with mandinga (magic) which is malice.

Many people here think that mandinga is a ritual

Mandinga Is the knowledge of the invisible. It goes beyond the theoretical knowledge of capoeira

It's the soul of the game

Exit with humility this to me is mandinga

The mandingueiro is the one who doesn't always exhibit the amulet on his chest but knows intimately who his protective saint is

It's the enticement of capoeira the permanent lie

It's a special kind of ginga (swaying)

It is the intangibility of the capoeirista that seems like magic

It's the guy who manages to improvise, do things out of normal

It's a way of playing, a playful manner to live

Let's say, if I don't like you, I have mandinga when I say "my friend..."

Besouro preto had it. Of course he had it, he had his trips when he would vanish

Mandinga is taking the 12 p.m. bus in the liberdade neighborhood after you get out from olodum show, right?

After an agglomeration, a fight, when the horseback police arrives suddenly the guy entered there where there was not exit and suddenly disappeared vanished!

Mandinga Is knowing how to live, how to make much out of nothing, it's knowing to enter and to exit.

Man capoeira is mandinga.

It's cunningness, it's malice

It's a trick to pretend, it's digging In to your tooth until blood spits out so that you cam claim that you have toothache; breaking your word lying that you don't feel nothing.

That you're going to make a move, you don't, and when he least expects, you move.

To me mandinga is life

It's everything the mouth eats! (mestre Pastinha)
