D'son started training Capoeira age 11 and has practised ever since. Capoeira is a powerful form of martial art and dance that was brought to Brazil by enslaved people. Capoeira as it is known today developed in D’son’s birthplace, Salvador Bahia. D’son learned his skills with many of Salvador’s capoeira masters, such as mestre King and mestre Virgilio dos Anjos. He has trained in different styles including Capoeira Angola and capoeira regional and started teaching as an assistant at 17. He found his capoeira home with mestre Nenel the son of one of the most famous capoeiristas, mestre Bimba. D’son has taught capoeira in the UK since 2013 and in Cardiff at Cathays community centre since 2019. He also provides school workshops and enjoys participating in events where he can share the amazing culture of capoeira with people of all ages and backgrounds.
