1. Great job Struendo2!! Keep on!!! To hazelday: history destroyed many
   documents concerning capoeira. I think we should learn the lesson and try
   to spread information and knowledge on capoeira at most. This will develop
   people’s awareness on what capoeira is and preserve the very essence of the
   art (thus helping all those old mestres to pay their rents). If those
   videos were easily available at a reasonable price, I would buy them (as I
   did for others).

2. Struendo2, you realize you’re posting vidoes where the people in them do
   sell them, and they help to pay the rent?

3. The same day there was a demonstration of ladja from Martinique with
   “ti-raoul” and his group! So,do you have the part of this recording? I saw
   it already at New York in Caribeen Culture Center! Most of biggest
   Researchers were present like Dan Dawson,a mestre Grande’s friend. He knows
   very much about Ladja and capoeira.

4. Posta o vídeo no formato original. Da forma como foi feito perde-se um
   pouco de qualidade. De qualquer forma, é um tesouro este vídeo que
   felizmente foi compartilhado com todos. Grande abraço.

5. ah aright then, thanks for the correction!!

6. For those of you who would like to buy one of Mestre Joao Grande’s VCDs,
   help him earn a living and support his family, we are working to add a
   store to the Mestre’s website. Meanwhile this material is protected by
   copyright!

7. That’s very nice of you! I think is valuable material! Is there any website
   selling them? How much do they cost? We could try… Unfortunately I live
   in Italy, so I fear that the shipping cost would be too much for me to pay
   my rent 🙂

8. wrong, it’s jogo de dentro com maracaçao

9. These are availabe as VCDs at the price that pays the rent. If you’d like
   to get one and you’re not in the NYC area, I will happily buy one on your
   behalf and send it to you at cost.

10. “number 3 in the Capoeira Forbes list”? I guess he gets that rep because
    he’s living in the studio he teaches in, and while in his mid 70s he’s
    traveling constantly to make sure he can pay the bills? Whoever gave you
    this impression is sadly mis-informed.

11. Yes it’s good, thanks! They are obviously performing.

12. I think it’s Jogo de dentro.

13. Unfortunately they’re only available as VCDs, the source video, VHS, isn’t
    very high quality. However the quality of the VCDs are much higher than the
    youtube clip!

14. I do not think that posting few samples of this video will affect Joao
    Grande’s economy, (number 3 in the Capoeira Forbes list after Camisa and
    Suassuna) at all. However the intention is to spread the information about
    capoeira and to introduce one of the best capoeira players to a wide
    audience.

15. 2 legends…

16. bit off topic but arent the playing the toque called miudinho that M.
    Suassuna popularized?

17. mestre joao grande tem um estilo muito massa

18. Does the videos come in DVD or MPEG4 format? Even .avi would be preferable.
    I just don’t like the VCD format. It’s too low in quality.
