Manhoso

Manhoso

Van L. Robins, also known as Manhoso (pronounced mawn-yo-so) in the Capoeira world, started training with the group Mandinga during the summer of 1998 along with his brother Quiabo and close childhood friends Sho Grande and Baiano. He continued to train under the supervision of Trovoada, a student of Mestre Marcelo, for 5 years. During this time he learned a great deal of history, music, and philosophy behind the movements. In a short time he began to assist in presentations and assisted in teaching classes. Manhoso has also participated in a number of workshops and promotional ceremonies.
