Special Guest Mestre Pinga Fogo 🔥

Guilherme Torres is a capoeira master from Taubaté, São Paulo, Brazil, with over 40 years of experience. He moved to Connecticut in 2003, where he performed at venues such as the Museum of the City of New York, Yale University, and the International Festival of Arts & Ideas, helping to introduce capoeira to a broader American audience.

In 2013, Mestre Pinga Fogo relocated to Austin, Texas, where he became a key figure in the local capoeira community. His teaching blends athleticism, strategy, and respect for capoeira’s history and music, creating a well-rounded and engaging learning environment.

In December 2023, he founded Benção Capoeira in Austin, offering classes for children and adults focused on movement, music, and community. The school has quickly become a hub for capoeira, hosting events like the “Roda of the Month.” Mestre Pinga Fogo holds a bachelor’s degree in physical education from the University of Taubaté (UNITAU), enhancing his approach to training and student development.
