Our Teacher
Contra Mestre Risadinha ( Jeremy) started Capoeira in February of 1993 at Capoeira of San Jose Academy and for the last 17 years has never stopped. In 2003 he became one of the first generation of “American Contra Mestres” to graduate from Capoeira of San Jose Academy. Contra Mestre Risadinha (Jeremy ) played an instrumental part in establishing Capoeira of San Jose, as a school in the Bay Area and has attended and participated in many Seminars and Workshops across the United States, Russia and Brasil.
