Dear GBC Japan bantulinos,
We apologize for any inconvenience caused. The schedule has been changed for the month of October to give your hard working instructor a chance to recover from his knee injury.
Back in July, Caçapa had his knee dislocated in an accident, and has been going through light rehabilitation in order to get it back to normal. Despite the rapid recovery in the first few weeks, Caçapa’s knee is still not at a satisfactory level. To assist in the recovery process, Tuesday night classes have been cancelled, and Thursday night classes have been pushed back to a 7.30pm start.

There’s heaps of great Brazilian movies on offer, so make sure you head down to the Tokyo International Forum and catch some great cinema.
One to keep your eyes open for is Madame Satã, a film about a carioca capoeirista fighting to survive in 1930s Rio de Janeiro.

MISHOP WORLD 2006

This is the 2nd consecutive year GBC Japan has been invited to perform at the Mishop World Festival held in Inokashira West Park, Mitakashi. Last year’s event was cancelled due to a Typhoon warning, so let’s keep our fingers crossed for a beautiful sunny day.
MISHOP (Mitaka International Society for HOsPitality) is a volunteer based organization that promotes the understanding of international culture here in Mitakashi. The Mishop World Festival is an annual free outdoor event filled with international acts, activities, craft and food stalls and many other opportunities to interact with the international community here in Tokyo.
Bantus Capoeira Japan will be on the main stage at 11:15am, so get there early to make sure you don’t miss out on the fun.
Time: 10am - 4pm.
Grupo Bantus Japan will meet at 10:30am to stretch and warm-up before our performance at 11:15-11:30am.
Date: Sunday 24th September, 2006.
Location: Inokashira West Park. Near The Ghibli Museum.
Dress: White Bantus Capoeira uniform (talk to Caçapa or Cafune if you don’t own the white uniform but want to take part in the performance).
Links: MISHOP, Mishop World 2006.
Note: There will be no Sunday Capoeira class.
After our performance we will have lots of time to enjoy the other acts and fit in an open roda in Inokashira Park. After that we may continue partying over in Nishi Azabu at bem brasil’s 1st Anniversary Party.
Leave a comment here to let us know you’ll be coming.

Oi galera!
I got back home 5pm Friday 8th, and classes recommenced Saturday 9th.
It was a really long trip back to Tokyo from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, but I managed to avoid any jetlag.
Cafune and I bought back with us a handful of berimbaus, some pandeiros, and lots of new capoeira pants for sale! They’ll be ready for sale soon. The berimbaus were handmade by Mestre Pintor and Mestre Jaime de Mar Grande, and we have a few cabaças specially hand pyrographed with the Bantus logo. They look awesome even if I say so myself!
We’ve got heaps of shows coming up soon, so keep training hard, we’ll have some special guests dropping in from Bantus Australia, and I’m really inspired to do some more street rodas in Kichijoji.
Mestre Pintor says capoeira is not something to be confined to the classroom or studio. It comes from the streets, and it should be played on the street, a thing of the people, for the people. So let’s share the Bantus spirit in Kichijoji.
More details on the upcoming shows really soon. In the meantime check out the photos from the Bantus Festival in Brazil here and here.
