AÚ Capoeira Malaysia

Here's about AÚ Capoeira Malaysia.

The history of Escola AÚ Capoeira began its roots in Brazil, originating from the work and history of its founder,Lourival Fernando Alves Leite, also known as Mestre Pop. The school aims to promote and perpetuate the practice of African-Brazilian culture through actions of social education.

Mestre Pop began learning capoeira in 1975 at the age of 22, in his hometown of Campo Grande – Mato Grosso do Sul. Being the pioneer in the teachings of this practice in Santa Catarina, his work began in the city of Florianopolis in Educandário November 25, a Santa Catarina institution chaired by the Foundation of the Welfare of Minors, on August 1 1977.

Here, Mestre Pop worked with children and inmates of the institution, where he remained for eight years. A group of about 80 people, children and adolescents of Educandário November 25, guided by Mestre Pop, began the work of Capoeira in Florianopolis. Thus, Quilombo de Palmares was born, the infant group of Educandário November 25.

Three years later, the first capoeira association legally registered in the state of Santa Catarina, Associação Cultural Berimbau de Ouro, was established, where children of Educandário also started to attend. During this period Grupo Berimbau de Ouro was created, integrating children of Educandário as students of the academy, who were college students, young and middle-class workers in general.
