  «They will be the great future capoeiras and for this I've worked and faught with them and for them. They will be real Masters, not improvising teachers which exist here and there and are only destroying our tradition which is so beautiful. I've taught these guys all I know. Even the Cat's Leap. For that reason I have the biggest expectations towards their future. Capoeira, the fights, the dance, the ginga is all my life, it's more than love, it's my reason of being.»
