Capoeira Brazilian Pelourinho da Topazio (CBP) was founded by Capoeira Master, Lazaro Santos in 1995. He was born in Bahia, Brazil and has developed a unique style of teaching forged through his experience and dedication to the art of Capoeira. As many Capoeristas in Bahia, Mestre Lazaro started his training at an early age. His Mestre is Mestre Dinho of Grupo Internacional de Capoeira Topazio who taught him very well. He persevered and eventually graduated as a Master of Capoeira. He then found himself experiencing years of world travel throughout Europe, Japan, and the USA, which allowed him to demonstrate Capoeira to a larger audience.  Today, CBP is an active member of the Central Florida community working with numerous children’s and cultural organizations (including Disney, Universal, Give Kids the World, Orange County Public Schools, Relay for Life, and much more) to promote this healthy and enriching martial art to people of all ages.
