JJ Richards (Sorriso) and Chris Richards (Zumba)
We have been training capoeira in Austin for about 6 years, and love it. In the process, we have met Mestre Accordian, Mestre Suassuna, Mestre Jelon, and Mestre Joao Grande to name a few. Capoeira has taken us to New York, Chicago, Miami, and Denver.
We drink, eat, and sleep capoeira. So being able to provide quality products to help promote a positive direction for capoeira is of utmost importance. Our goal as a company and website is not to "cash in" on a growing trend, but rather to be a supportive member of the capoeira community.

Sincerely,
Sorriso and Zumba
