Our 4th Festival

Has it really been a year since we came back from Brazil and had our 3rd Festival? The memories are still so fresh in my mind! At the risk of sounding cheesy, I have to say that time flies when you are having fun. Looking back at the year gone by, Bantus Capoeira Malaysia has really grown and matured as a group. To the seniors, your commitment has been excellent and I want to congratulate you guys for all you’ve done. For our fresh batch of Bantulinos, it’s great to see you guys training so hard and with so much enthusiasm, keep up the good work.

However, lets’ not start patting each other on the back quite yet because the highlight of the year is just around the corner. Its time to buckle down and focus and I want to see everyone give it a final push to prepare for this years Festival! That means, busting your behind in class, coming for Saturday rodas and just playing as much capoeira as you can from now till October.
