Darwin Bodero-Capoeira   
Darwin Bodero (Graduado Cobra D'Agua) was born in New York City where his martial arts training began at age 14. After experimenting in several styles throughout the years, Capoeira found him in 1999. In 2000 Mr.Bodero was officially inducted into Capoeira through his first batizado with Mestre Bom Jesus. In 2001 he began training with Professor Carioca and has been with him ever since. In June of 2006, Mr.Bodero received his Graduado corda (Blue cord), marking his first step in a long road as a graduated student. Mr.Bodero has performed at various locations and universities around the country, displaying and sharing his unique style of Capoeira for all to see.

Mr.Bodero's style of Capoeira comes from Espirito Santo, Brasil. Under the "umbrella" of world renowned Mestre Capixaba, New York is privileged to have a long lineage of great teachers including Mestre Bom Jesus, Mestre Ariranha, Professor Carioca, Instrutor Boca do Mundo, and now Graduado Cobra D'Agua. As history repeats itself, his classes will pass onto you the traditions, culture, and ways of Capoeira that were bestowed unto him.

Classes are open to all men, women, and children (10+). All classes are for levels beginner to advanced, no experience is necessary.
