Capoeira Angola Palmares | Boca do Rio, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil

Mestre Nozinho is a leading master of the Capoeira Angola Palmares school and the son of its founder, the legendary Mestre Nô. He began learning capoeira at the age of three and was trained in a distinctive style rooted in the street traditions of Salvador’s outskirts.

By 2002, he was teaching children—including those with special needs—and developing a widely respected method of instruction that blends physical training with personal growth, rhythm, and community values.

In 2007, Mestre Nozinho brought his teachings to Italy, and in 2009 he relocated to Moscow to lead the Russian branch of Capoeira Angola Palmares. There, he helped grow a strong, inclusive capoeira community and organized major international events.

His skill and dedication have been recognized with multiple honors from his father, including the Cordel Branco - Ponta Verde de Mestre (2014), Cordel Branco - Ponta Amarelo de Mestre (2018), and the Cordel Branco - Ponta Azul (2022) .

Today, Mestre Nozinho continues to teach around the world—including in Japan, Germany, the U.S., and Brazil—while living in Boca do Rio, Salvador, Bahia. He remains deeply committed to making Capoeira Angola accessible to all and continues to carry forward the legacy of Mestre Nô with integrity and passion.
