In his words:
«I am of those who says: capoeira is capoeira! Regional is one version. It has the same value, but I am angoleiro. We can say that these are two ways to play capoeira, but these are also two cultures. Angoleiro thinks a little differently than regional. Regional emphasizes more like a fight and the angoleiro the universe. Angoleiro is an angoleiro in the way he walks, the way he cuts a corner and dresses himself, regional then again is more free, it's more for students. The two are very important and mix. After some time there will be talk of CAPOEIRA only.»
