Contra-Mestre
Márcio Méndes
Born in Macapa-AP,
and grew up in Belem (Amazon Region).His first contact with Capoeira
was as it is for many Brazilians, on the street, in a spontaneous
way, without structure, that is to say, without a master to guide
him.
At age 17, he met Mestre Bezerra, recognized as the responsible for
establishing Capoeira in the states of Pará and Amapá
in Brazil) and the man who would become his Mestre. After 5 years,
Márcio started giving classes at the University of Pará,
under Mestre Bezerra's supervision. 1999 Márcio moved to Canada
and started to teach at Muiraquita Capoeira. M·rcio has given classes
in various countries including England, France and Portugal and has
given workshops and presentations throughout Canada. He currently
teaches Capoeira at the University of Toronto, U of TSC, York University,
St. Christopher's House, Toronto's West End YMCA and now at Muiraquita
Capoeira school, where he is also the Manager.
