mestre

Ubirajara Almeida, student of legendary Mestre Bimba, is an author, unmatched musician, and historian. One of the pioneers to bring Capoeira to the western United States in early 1980's. Today Mestre Acordeon has established the United Capoeira Association with schools in numerous states and Mexico.

Animal

Eduardo Galvan started training Capoeira in Tucson AZ under Contra Mestre Enxu over 15 years ago. With unmatched energy and determination he earned the name ANIMAL and has mentored schools throughout the southwest under the name of 'Quinto Sol' . His Juarez school is the only Capoeira academy to brave the challenges of the infamous border city. The El Paso branch became a non-profit organization in 2007 and his Las Cruces branch boasts over 40 students.

Vaga

Jon-Michael Blowe has been training Capoeira for five years and has been given the honor of guiding the El Paso branch of Quinto Sol. He earned the nickname Vaga Lume (firefly) for his illuminating smile and he attempts to engrain the words, talents, and knowledge of his teachers into every person that visits the academy.
