POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
To be clear, I mean physical and emotional abuse within Capoeira...in or around the roda, at events, I schools, etc. and by Do Something, I mean begin by believing them and not continuing with business as usual. Most women are not expecting you to beat up the perp and most women are not going to lie about an abusive situation. 

As a man, if you hear stories about another man being abusive, the least you could do is protect your students from the person in question until the community has vetted them. The least you could do is make women aware. You could also try having a conversation with the person. 

We are bleeding talented people because of our complicity. As teachers we have to do better... Including myself. 

I now understand why some Mestres prefer their students not go to rodas without them. It's not always the case but I get it
