“Centro de Cultura Física e Regional”
During the times when the practice of Capoeira was still illegal, Manoel dos Reis Machado, the famous “Mestre Bimba”, founded the “Centro de Cultura Física Regional (CCFR)”. In 1937, the CCFR became the first Capoeira academy in history to be officially recognized by Brazilian federal authorities. After a long history of persecution, Capoeira was finally on its way to being recognized as one of the symbols of Brazil’s national identity
