"Growth is the best word to characterize this past year for about for ABADA Capoeira Marin.   As a community, we have grown in so many ways in terms of everybody’s individual growth in capoeira, the size of our community, and ACM’s growth as an organization.  This Year's growth has been incredible, and it is just a small example of our potential when we work to play and grow together."

Thank you, Gabriela!  We chose your theme because it indeed captures our inspiration and our moment.  We would also like to acknowledge the contributions of Gamal Chasten and Martin Muguruza whose themes complement Gabriela‘s idea and will be incorporated in our overall theme.  Gamal noted that we live in a global village and that all communities need to come together to solve the challenging problems we face today. Martin noted the importance of interacting with each other and getting out in the real world.

Congratulations Gabriela!
