April 1996 It's carnival time! The people are swaying to their drumbeats, marching on a wave of music through the streets of Brazil. But life isn't always so harmonious. For Black Brazilians the battle against apartheid is only just beginning. Though slavery was abolished 107 years ago, power still rests with the fair skinned. A decade ago, the Olodum movement took black culture and black music to the carnival for the first time. Other movements have developed like the Ax'e group which rescues abandoned children from the streets. At the refuge they can play football, free from drugs, violence and the police. In dilapidated shanty towns, people are questioning their inferior status. As children splash in the muddy water, parents are rejecting the white Brazilian ideal promoted by the mass media. Maria de Lourdes from the Unified Black Movement concludes, "we Negroes need to become conscious of our situation, but Brazilian society needs to change too." [Mas+detalle]

The Brazilian government wants finish Caboclo population. The Caboclos are the descendants of the unions of Amerindians and Europeans. They are the majority of the population of the Brazilian Amazon, more than 50% of the country's territory. They are not White nor Indian. They are not Black too, but the president Lula's government and Black movement groups wants finish the Caboclos and impose them the Black identity. Today, the General Committee convened by the Chamber of Deputies, in Brasilia, talks about the Statute of Racial Equality, the government project to finish Multiracials. HELDA CASTRO - Good morning to all. I'd like, in the person of Mr. President, congratulate the members of the Bureau. My name is Helda. I am the representative of the Association of the Caboclos and Riverines of the Amazon and I come to this platform to make an appeal to the Parliamentary because we who are from the Amazon, which represents about 50% of the our Brazilian territory, today we live without public policies directed to the Caboclos and Riverines. They classified us today as Blacks, according to the Statute of Racial Equality. We are descendants of European and White. Don't want impose us an identity. According to the Federal Constitution, the self identification is a right of every person. The war began in the Amazon. To our misfortune, Indians, Blacks, Mestizos, and Caboclos are bordering on a war because the Federal Government has imposed us an identity. Mr. President, I want to express my repudiation to the Federal Government, because we own our identity. You who are from South and South-East visit the Amazon to know our reality. We do not want to be colony of Brasilia, we want to be part of Brasilia, the Brazilian Federation. And we are very unhappy with it. Black people in the Amazon left of Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Brasilia. Thus is formed the Black movement in the Amazon. I left of my state to come to Brasilia to make this denouncement. It is necessary policies for Blacks, but it is not necessary destroy other identities. There should be repairing, of course, because the Black people was brought to this country as slaves, but it is not necessary to decimate us, the Caboclos who live in the Amazon and fight for environmental preservation. Global warming is increasing, and we, the peoples of the forest, fighting for the preservation of nature. If we don't care of our forests, our region will become a savanna, the result of global warming and attack the ozone layer. We need our identity is respected. When I do lectures, share with the Black movement, the "quilombola" movement. I agree with that we need to be ahead of movements that fight for equality, but for equality for all, without excluding anyone. One who was oppressed cannot become oppressor. We are all Brazilian citizens and deserve respect. Thank you very much. Brasilia, Brazil, November 26, 2007.

September 2006 It's a religious festival like no other, featuring skimpy bikinis and non-stop drinking and dancing. But for black Brazilians, the festival of Yemanja is as much about spirituality as partying. "Today the party is for Yemanja, Queen of the Ocean", explains Carlinhos Brown. Candomble, the worship of African Gods, is at the centre of a revival of Afro-Brazilian culture. It aims at recognising the contribution slaves made to modern Brazil and restoring black pride in a city where most black people live in abject poverty. [Mas+detalle]

"Am I black or am I white?" Even before they ever set foot in a college classroom, many Brazilian university applicants must now confront a question with no easy answer. BRAZIL IN BLACK AND WHITE follows the lives of five young college hopefuls from diverse backgrounds as they compete to win a coveted spot at the elite University of Brasilia, where 20 percent of the incoming freshmen must qualify as Afro-Brazilian. Outside the university, WIDE ANGLE reports on the controversial racial debate roiling Brazil through profiles of civil right activists, opponents of affirmative action, and one of the country's few black senators.

This video is awesome! It's a video with many moments of our 5 th BJJ CAMP. We have the dates for our next BJJ CAMP check out page!!! Once again It will be 10 days long, but we will provide you all the support if you want to stay longer. BJJ CAMP Brazilian Black belts have decided to open their summer house located in Búzios, the greatest watering-place in the Rio de Janeiro state! It's the place where, traditionally, they train themselves for the important tournaments. They have decided to make a BJJ CAMP for everyone who is interested in learning Jiu-jitsu that is being taught and practiced right now in Brazil along with a lot of fun. Even better, it's going to be in the wonderful state of Rio de Janeiro. The purpose of the CAMP is to teach the best BJJ available, hiding no secrets and with the teaching methods that have been making those guys step on the first place podiums for several years NEXT CAMP At the Brazilian Black Belt BJJ CAMP, that take place twice a year (April and August), we assure that you will get the best possible instruction in the most exclusive Jiu-Jitsu training program in the WORLD THE HOUSE The house is amazing, not only for its beauty but also because it has a perfect harmony with the surroundings. Its architecture helped inspired the city's style. The architect that made the house is considered the precursor of Búzios construction. It's also located right on the beach, you walk out of the house and step in the sand. Even better, the beach (Geribá beach), is the most popular beach in the city where everyone likes to hang out. NUMBER of STUDENTS It may sound weird, but we don't want to have a lot of students, the reason is that to guarantee a high quality standard of instruction, we limit the maximum number of students to 17. We could increase the maximum number, but we want to give something that you will get NO WHERE in the WORLD. We are sure that no other school in the world will give you the chance to have so many TOP black belts teaching and grappling at the same class at the same time. STUDENT´S LEVEL As we teach the concepts (the way things work), the different levels of students is not a problem. We have had students from white belts to black belts and they were all pleased at the end. We have had martial arts lovers who had never put on a BJJ gi before, but at the end they were feeling quite comfortable with BJJ. We will be giving FULL-TIME attention during the classes, not only teaching but also rolling while correcting the mistakes. This will allow us to address everyone's BJJ needs with 100% satisfaction. BENEFITS Through a high quality lifestyle, we have the intention of helping our guests make BIG steps with their techniques. We are SURE that everyone will go back home with a feeling that they have NEVER learned so much in such a short time. We are going to teach the concepts (the way things work) so it can be incorporated into your own BJJ game. Besides the BJJ improvement, you will mix this with the best vacation of your life. Búzios is a place you will never forget, its beauty is outstanding and you will probably make plans to come back. INVESTMENT The accommodation: five meals a day, transportation from the airport and back and all the classes are included. The investment is only US$120 a day. We find that to be a very reasonable, especially considering that is usually what you would pay just for a room in any nice hotel.
