Capoeira $lave Ritual

By Mestre Jeronimo

I write Capoeira $lave Ritual with the tongue of Australian, Brazilian, French, Spanish, Italian and German taxpayers.

Brazilian Capoeira (Capuêra, Kaapoera, Capoera, Capuera...) was born as a warfare culture to oppose oppression and racism. Present-day Capoeira produces sports, music, crafts, meditative conditions and therapy to improve the well-being of our body and mind.

It was slavery that generated taxpayers/capueristas in Brazil. Hence, using a dollar sign [$] instead of the letter [s] I name the citizen's en$laved by rental, bank debts, credit cards, tax offices... as the real "$lave", aka capuerista, from Capoeira.

The author informs how $laves with a messy ID sponsor irresponsible schooling and cause the bankruptcy of the Capoeira businesses.

Enjoy a divergent game in a "Capoeira Opera" that endorses the educational call of the movie "Monty Python Holy Grail" and the English TV series "Horrible Histories". The Capoeira Opera plays 3 Acts staged by educators, capueristas, TV and movie celebrities, athletes, artists and our employees in political, church, army jobs.

Capoeira Mestres History: Rei Zumbi, Pastinha, Bimba... and several photos of capueristas in action.

Via data and photos, look into the business and educational purpose of the Aussie Capoeira Schools and the history of the creation in 1994 of the Brazilian Community Council of Australia (BRACCA) in Sydney.

I teach music and write the Toques (rhythm and melody) of Capoeira in classical scores making updates to improve classical music notation that discriminates against other cultures.

Historical maps and my research add evidence about the traditions and beliefs of the oldest and new inhabitants of South America, Brazil, Australia, Europe, Africa, India and the USA associated with the bilingual and multi-ethnic culture and business of Capoeira.

The book features personal utterance from Mestre Bimba in Brazil and add speeches from former Capoeira champions (Mestre Acordeon Bira Almeida in the US and Gilson de Jesus living in Sydney-AU) that raise questions about the training of athletes and valuing of sports products that entrepreneurs of the Brazilian Federations and World Capoeira Federation (WCF) want to trade for the Olympic Games.

DISCLAIMER

I write Capoeira $lave Ritual © 2022 with the tongue that stands for the culture of Aussie, Brazilian, French, Spanish, Italian and German taxpayers as we vocalize it

🖖

I am an Australian citizen and write Capoeira $lave Ritual enthused by our Aussie speech, which, although is not accredited our official idiom, in Australia it confirms our traditions and accurate social identity.

As I respect the culture of others, I don’t endorse incoherent attitudes and lies that generate disrespect and racism. Therefore, I write my book in Aussie Idiom.

As the Brazilian language is discriminated against and said to be a trivial domain of Portuguese culture, as well in Australia’s multiethnic nation, the Aussie tongue is devalued. Hence, my Aussie (aka English) accent contains polyglot intonation from the synthesis of South American and European languages.

To teach and promote Capoeira with its whole culture that embodies the unique identity of Brazilians, I opt to write the Brazilian edition of my book in Brazilian Idiom!

When Hommo sapiens (taxpayers) sow trees, under whose shade he will not take possession or eat the fruits, but other $laves will benefit, society will progress

Capoeira

In its all-embracing richness, Capoeira's top values are comparable to an honest Family that takes care, protects and educates its offspring.

The multicultural ritual and sport created in Brazil known as Capoeira [ka-poh-ayee-ra], (aka Capuêra, Kaapoera, Capuera, Capoera, etc.,) is Cultural Immaterial Heritage of Humanity (UNESCO, 2014).

MEDITATION E-BOOK 29 NOV 2022.jpg

Capoeira practiced as a therapy strengthens the body and mind, providing excellent physical and spiritual well-being to beat diseases and misery caused by oppression that generates $-slavery and racism.

$LAVE RITUAL

Think (clever) and become a Free Man!

Through the practice of Capoeira, I teach that we can achieve Total Freedom and evolve.

As I think that often we hear people saying, The First will become the last … this book proves the worth of the popular saying. I write this book inspired by the same iconoclastic attitude that generated the creation of the original book Capoeira $lave Ritual © 1995.1

The reviewed edition of my book Capoeira $lave Ritual presents an update on cultural, social ethnic and historical references, among words and singular terms that can produce disrespect and racism. Thus, my book discusses and informs about the social aspects (history, language, philosophy, spirituality, music, sport, martial art, politics, etc.) from South American, Brazilian, African, Australian, Portuguese native cultures; and associated societies.

Thus, to wholly grasp my book's educational and artistic intent, it's crucial that I also ask you to THINK (clever) and evaluate the original root and achievement of certain words we use. Spoken and written words represent our thoughts and actions and the correct or incorrect use of writing will attest to the quality and value of our attitudes. The misuse of writing will become another generator of disrespect, unemployment, wars, slavery, racism, etc.

Among several reasons, check out some of the social affairs that I experienced and use to confirm the importance of correct schooling that we need to put into action. Upon arriving in Australia in 1987, a short time later, I was very surprised to read in the city's main newspaper, the Sydney Morning Herald, that the capital of Brazil was Buenos Aires.

(Really - ?)

In addition to this non-educational punch to the brain, it was during the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Rio on Australia's main TV shows, CH 7, one of the presenters uttered that Brazilians... parlano italiano.

When his colleague asked to confirm his absurdity he smirked "sheep-$ly" and tried to justify his mistake to not fall into a total ridicule. Since my true multicultural identity consists in the mix of quite a few traditions and languages, I logically chose to proclaim that I write my books with my inborn Brazilian idiom. I have no intention of promoting Portuguese business.

— Then, you ask: JC, why is this cultural ID so essential to you?

Mate, haven't you noticed that I'm not European?

I'm proud of my Brazilian/South American ancestry!

Wherefore, as I am fully aware of who I am, I do not approve lies that feed corruption and racism. What happens is that although formally it is not yet proclaimed that Brazilians have their own idiom, I will prove that we have. I provide plenty of rational proof (in this book) to duly certify what I proclaim.

Mate, enjoy this divergent reading and take the opportunity to clear your doubts about this subject.

To begin (the game), I am very proud to tell that the Capoeira that arrived in October 1987 with me in Sydney benefited from my three years in Europe, playing my ginga teaching and performing music and Capoeira and learning new languages. The experience updated my schooling and confirmed what I was already contesting about the lies that are still used in Brazil to subjugate and oppress the masses colonized by Europeans.

Then, I began refusing to repeat the lies that were imposed with the indoctrination that we were required to learn at school. As a result, I have chosen to identify myself socially as a Citizen of the World.

This social ID truthfully portrays my accurate multicultural and cultured person. It is not surprising that the same despicable situation happened during the colonial period in the Senzala (slave quarters). The oppressed and enslaved were forced to deny their social ID and endorse a European story and Portuguese traditions. This wicked attitude, amid similar other outrageous, was fully $-blessed by the Vatican religious corrupt businesses, endorsing the racist and dishonest action of the European taskmaster.

When in 1995 my Capoeira student Annetta Luce2, dancer and dance teacher from the United States, asked: Jeronimo, why are you writing a book? — I replied that the book would help me to clear up personal doubts. I needed at that moment to confirm the merit of my education and my artwork.

So, let’s play Capoeira and tear down corruption and racism!

Iêê...  vamos jogar, camará!

HOMMO $APIEN

Humans (species Homo sapiens) are ALL indigenous to this Planet, right!?

WE MUST STOP chauvinism against our own species as soon as possible. There is no reason for honest citizens to continue using racist language. We must respect our brothers and sisters of the same species (Homo sapiens). So, to respectfully name the citizens who in the past were and still are discriminated against in Brazil, Australia and elsewhere, we urgently need an update. Alas, such disgusting social behaviour using xenophobic speech is still employed in schools and universities.

As a result, during my first years of schooling in Brazil, I was also forced to use bigoted words. Ergo, I too have produced disrespect against many people. But at a certain point, I became aware of this disrespectful attitude and I chose to re-educate myself. Since then, I have reviewed this attitude and no longer use the xenophobic terms that generate disrespectful behaviour.

Now, in order to generate good schooling, I teach that we must denounce and review all racist terms that have been made official by land invaders and other tyrants and oppressors. Why insist on repeating lies and depreciatory names endorsed by invaders to discriminate against the culture and people of the Americas, Australia, Africa, and elsewhere?

Whence, I constantly seek to correct my education also when I write my books. That's why I teach and defend the purpose of applying worthy educational, family and spiritual values to properly educate and put an end to these racially derogatory terms. Sadly, such insulting terms are still practiced at home, in school routine, in Rodas and Capoeira events, sports, dance, film, TV, radio, churches, etc.

With the fitting update of the whole formal educational system, we will have a better chance to end for good the disrespect against the cultures that are constantly discriminated against within the use of derogatory wording and any other racialist terminology. Among a range of xenophobic terms that must be urgently eliminated, think about a rational reason to still accept the misuse of the terms Indigenous-Indian-Aboriginal that are corrupted at their pedagogical root and producing unwanted racist behaviour.

The arrogant will justify the use of these terms even using the lame excuse of the Italian explorer and navigator Christopher Columbus, who made a huge mistake in stupidly thinking that he had arrived at the place he was originally supposed to go. Columbus landed in many countries such as the islands of the Caribbean (now called the Bahamas) and the coasts of Central and South America and later repeatedly expressed his mistaken belief that he had reached the coasts of South Asia.

From then on, he promoted the use of the trivial jargon Indians to refer to the inhabitants of his so-called New World; as if these were the native citizens of the India continent he wanted to have... (?) ― discovered. Using such demagogue word they started to bring out another lie in their anti-educational and racist books.

Camaradas, it's not a big deal to talk as I do now. But at that time, we would already be thrown into the fire of the Inquisition, right?

It is also worth mentioning, appending proper historical evidence to reinforce my iconoclastic pedagogical reproach, that the natives of India also had their original name {Jambudvipa; Bhārata} disrespected when it was replaced with an English epithet: vocable {indian}. Indeed, a proper term 'Indigenous' is considered the lingo that derives from the Latin 'indigenus' and 'indigena-native' and also from the Old Latin 'indu'; a word derived from the Greek 'endo' meaning in and within and the Latin 'gignere', meaning to beget, from the root gene: meaning to produce, give birth, beget.

The trivial indigenous designation that is now in use only suits to distinguish the oppressed citizens of invaded lands. There are many South Americans being discriminated and considered to be just insignificant indians – (aka, an inferior second class race without suitable social identity).

Along with the Older Residents living in the land now called Australia, who are discriminated as a trivial "aborigines", other races that had no social link with India were cursed by demagogue Vatican blessings’$ and doomed to be totally slaughter, robbed, raped and enslaved by the European invaders.

Therefore, if all species on our planet originate from the same Indigenous Hommo sapiens, we must now duly re-educate to end all forms of racism that generate misery and Apartheid.

$LAVE LINGO

Our thoughts being written materialize our ideals. To generate a healthy lifestyle and evolve, we must pick the best education.

How can we be sure that we are
