ou train hard, you go to every
Capoeira class, you play in the
roda, you practice movements with
your friends, and perhaps you run
on non-Capoeira days in order to
-Anamaria Pontesimprove your endurance. You pay
attention on getting a good base in cadeira position, a
straight leg in meia lua de compasso, pulling back your
foot fast after kicking a martelo and most importantly
keeping your arms in front of your face! Are you paying
attention on how you’re fueling your body to perform all
of that?
Training hard is a great way to improve your
performance. Another very important way that is often
overlooked is your eating habits. What you eat and also
when you eat, directly affects your energy, strength,
endurance and overall performance.
As a Registered Nutritionist the question that I get the
most among my Capoeira peers is: “What and when to
eat before a Capoeira class?” If you eat shortly before class
you feel full, sluggish and may suffer from indigestion.
If you train on an empty stomach, you may feel dizzy,
lightheaded and low energy levels.

estre Carioca hosted a spectacular event this
Summer. His students and instructors came from
different parts of the US and Brasil to show support.
The event hosted workshops, a central park picnic, and a
batizado and ending with delicious Brazilian food.
Mestre Carioca’s long time childhood friends from
his hometown of Vitoria, Brasil- Mestre Ethienne and
Professor Sapeba taught workshops and helped to promote
the students. Everyone present was able to experience the
bond that these three “brothers of capoeira” share.
Mestre Carioca gave a heartfelt speech detailing the
appreciation he has for his dedicated students and
promoted many for their hard work. Of special note are
the promotions of Professora Canela, Professor Cobra
D’Agua, Professor Indio, and Professor Queixo.
The highlight of the event was the honored guest,
Mestre Joao Grande, a pillar in the Capoeira community
in New York, Brasil and all over the world. The event
started and finished with a spectacular show by Nick and
Quenia. It was great to see familiar faces and meet new
students. Can’t wait till the next event!

vitamin E, which is a fat-soluble vitamin that
protects your heart and blood vessels from
diseases such as hardening of the arteries, heart

-90
MINUTES OR MORE-
½ CUP OATMEAL WITH 1 TBS DRIED
FRUITS & 1 TBS SHAVED ALMONDS.
Oats and dried fruits are rich in complex
carbohydrates and are full of fiber, which
means they gradually release the carbohydrates
into your bloodstream. This keeps your energy
levels consistent during your training. Oats are
rich in vitamin B necessary to convert carbohydrates into energy. Almonds are packed with
proteins that keep you fuller for longer.
AN EGG SANDWICH. One egg, slice of
cheese, fresh sliced tomato on wholegrain
bread. Egg is a high-quality protein since it
provides all the essential amino acids, the
muscles’ building blocks. Cheese is rich in
fat, which leaves the stomach very slowly,
making this a great snack if your training is in
90 minutes. The complex carbohydrates and
high-quality protein combo here is a great way
to fuel your training.
6-INCHES TURKEY SUB WITH LETTUCE & TOMATOES. If your next training
is in 90 minutes or more, you will have time to
digest a sandwich made with wholegrain bread,
lean protein, vegetables and ½ tablespoon of
mayo.

PROTEIN SHAKE. 1-scoop of Garden of
Life plant-based protein powder, ¾ cup of
almond milk, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. The
protein provided from this shake will prevent
muscle damage and slow down digestion.
Coconut oil is a healthy fat, rich in medium-chain-fatty-acids that are sent directly to
your liver where they are converted into energy
rather than being stored as fat.
2 TBS HUMMUS WITH VEGETABLES
STICKS. Hummus is made of chickpeas (rich
in protein) and tahini paste (healthy fats). This
combination can fuel longer training sessions.
Vegetable sticks will provide complex carbohydrates making this a complete snack. The
fat content in the tahini takes longer to leave
your stomach making you satisfied for a longer
period of time…until your next workout!
------------------------------------------------------Don’t forget to take into account the foods
you eat throughout the day. All foods consumed will be transformed into energy to fuel
your body, to repair and rebuild your muscles
and bones, making you stronger. Fueling
you body for sports performance requires a
balanced meal composed of complex carbohydrates, high quality protein, healthy fats and
fluids.
Make sure to drink enough fluids throughout the day. Water, coconut water, almond
milk, tea and a percentage of fruits all count
as fluids. People have different needs based on
gender, size, physical activity and the amount
they sweat. About 10-11 cups for males and
8-9 cups for females is a good reference.
