    Re: Capoeira site

    Hi Bill.

    I am Rob, one of Jimi's capoeira students. Its a trivial point but the Capoeiragem.com website is not affiliated to Jimi or the Senzala group in any way.

    It is an independant site run by me and another like minded capoeirista for the sole purpose of promoting the wonderful art of Capoeira.

    The group website found at http://www.groupsenzala.co.uk is still available for people wanting to know about the classes he runs in the north east of england (Peterlee, Durham, Newcastle).

    cheers

    Rob (Scuzzi)

    Does anyone know anywhere in the UK where one can buy Capoeira training trousers (sorry don't know what they are called a friend of mine wants to get some as he's tried of wearing trackpants)?

    Thanks.

    There isnt really any well known places in the UK that sell capoeira merchandise, especially the capoeira pants - also referred to as "Abadas".

    The best place to buy them would be from his instructor or from other capoeira instructors. He could try contacting Pedro who runs Senzala Scotland (www.senzalascotland.com) as I know he "did" have some trousers for sale.

    Other than that, the only other places I know of are in europe. He could try the followinf places who have an online shop.

    Capoeira Hosen (Germany) - http://www.capoeira-hosen.de/
    Capoeira-Laden (Germany) - http://www.capoeira-laden.de/
    Bom do Brasil (Germany) - http://www.bomdobrasil.com/loja/pag_categorias.php?tabela=capoeira
    Ao Brasil (France) - http://www.aobrasil.com/capoeira/

    There are also a number of very good suppliers based in the USA.

    Capoeira-Shop - http://www.capoeira-shop.com (highly recommended)
    Capoeira Gear - http://www.capoeiragear.com
    Capoeira Store - http://www.capoeira.com/store/
    The Capoeira Store - http://www.thecapoeirastore.com/

    Capoeira trousers in UK

    I have several pairs of Capoeira trousers for sale.

    I have just come back from several months in Brazil playing Capoeira with Tribo de Luanda in Itacare - near Ilheus, and following complaints from people there that the trousers weren't widely available here in the UK, I brought a few pairs back with me to sell.

    If this proves popular, I have arranged with the seamstress that makes the trousers for Tribo de Luanda in Itacare that she makes and sends tailor-made trousers back to me in return for a bank transfer.

    The two pairs I have currently available and measured are 48cm and 58cm long. However, if you would be interested in ordering a tailored pair, please send me an email so I can guage demand (as it is not worth the (extortionate) bank transfer fee unless I order a few at a time.

    The cost would be approximately £26 including postage and packing, depending on demand (the more people that order, the cheaper it all becomes - I suppose therefore bulk purchases would get a discount).

    The trousers are plain white, as that allows you to use them in any group's batizada without politics. Colour preferences can be made for tailored pairs, but would be subject to local availability there in Ilheus. I can personally vouch that the material is top quality, fairly thick and very stretchy with cotton content. That is all I managed to find out at the time.

    I hope this does not sound like a business trying to get free advertising - I am just a raving fan of Capoeira and Brazil at heart!

    Oops, to tell me you are interested

    If you are interested, rather than bore everyone on this forum with your inside leg measurements, send me an email to cpreager@hotmail.com with the word "capoeira" in the email title (I get a lot of spam).

    PS. If you think this sounds fair and good, please tell your friends to drop me a line too, or organise a group purchase between yourselves. Thanks.
