Master Pastinha<\/p><\/div>\n

Vincente Ferreira Pastinha<\/strong> was born on April 5th 1889, in Salvador de Ba\u00eda, (Brazil). He was the son of a Spanish father and an African mother. Master Pastinha discovered Capoeira in 1899, when he was a child. Because of his sickness, he was prosecuted by a boy. At the window of a neighborhood\u2019s house, an old man used to watch everything which happened in the street. One day, he proposed Pastinha to teach him how to protect from his foe.<\/p>\n

The Master told it so :
\n<\/strong>\u00ab One day, from his window, an old African man saw me fighting against a boy who was always bothering me. After the fight, seeing me crying out of anger, he called me and told me : \u00ab You cannot fight against that boy, he\u2019s far older than you. Instead of waiting there, come to my home, I\u2019ll teach you a very precious thing. \u00bb<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how he learnt with Master Benedito or Bentinho that struggling art, linked to the rituals and beliefs of Capoeira\u2019s history. In 1901, Pastinha entered the Navy\u2019s school and began to teach Capoeira to his fellows, until 1913. at that period, Capoeira was retaliated and it was very complicated to practise it. But in 1941, he started again to teach it.<\/p>\n

Master Pastinha made Capoeira evolve. He showed a lot of wisdom, thoughtfulness and capacities. For him, Capoeira was not only a fight but only a philosophy of life, with its own values. The true Capoeirist must respect those values, at each moment of life. Many practisers kept traditional or Angola Capoeira\u2019s values, different from Master Bimba\u2019s regional Capoeira. Capoeira Angola uses slow and conscious movements.<\/p>\n

In 1966, Master Pastinha was invited to take part to the Dakar Festival (Senegal capital, Africa), where he realized a show of Capoeira. Capoeira came originally from Africa.\u00a0In 1969, Master Pastinha eventually became blind but kept on practising. In 1971, he lose his academy, which caused him a depression and weakened him much. On November 13th<\/sup>\u00a01981, Vincente Ferreira Pastinha passed away at the age of 92 years old. He was then lonely, poor, at a loss and forgotten by all. Master Pastinha is considered as the Master of Masters..<\/p>\n

\u00ab No one can show what he has. Confessions and revelations must be given little by little. That is useful in Capoeira, in family, in life. There are some secrets which cannot be revealed to all. There are some moments which cannot be shared \u00bb.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
