Mestre Rony started playing Capoeira in the state of Sao Pauloin the
small town of Pirassununga in 1984 where he had the chance to meet Mestre
Luizao. Since then he has had the chance to train with several
great mestres, that he considers his mestres as well. Mestre Meinha and
Mestre Acordeon are
the ones that he believes improved his game and
his knowledge of the art.

help of Contra-Mestre Amunka, started giving classes in California where
he taught Capoeira until 1996 when he moved to West Florida.
