Hi Guys

In an effort to try and spice up the content on the website, as well as to help you all to get to know our family in Brazil a bit better, we will be starting to do profiles on the various Mestres in the Associacao de Capoeira Barrevento.

These profiles will be of a similar nature to the student profiles that we already have going on a monthly basis but will be more serious and capoeira orientated. As such, we would like YOU to send us your suggestions for questions that you would like to hear the Mestres respond to. This is the perfect opportunity to get the info that you have always wanted to know but just haven’t been able to in the past – language is a big barrier for most of us!

How can you win?

All you have to do is propose a question that you would like us to include in these interviews/profiles as a comment at the bottom of this post.

The author of the best question will win a months class card for classes at the Stoneridge Class in Modderfontein valued at R 310.00! The competition closes on Friday 3 September 2010 and the winner will be announced on Wednesday the 8th of September 2010.

*The judges decision is final.

*The  prize cannot be transfered to another class and is not redeemable for cash.

*The class card is valid for 8 classes over four consecutive weeks from the date of the first class attended.

Axe!
