It all started when…
Mestre stumbled on this group of boys playing around in his neighborhood of Boco do Rio in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. At that time, Pião was just 4 years old! Our group would not exist if it weren’t for the generosity and commitment of Mestre Jelon Vieira, who taught Pião and many of his fellow friends and family for free. Many of these students continue to make their living teaching the art of Capoeira.
