My Apelido is Perna de Pau. I got my nickname because I trained Shaolin Do for along time and during this period I did a lot of Iron Bone training and this hardened my shin bones in addition to playing soccer for a few years while in college/high school, thus "Wooden Legs". Also, my Mestre heard about a time that I had broken a bottle over my shin at a party after someone assaulted my girlfriend...the guy who assaulted her ran away after that. :)
I have been doing martial arts since 1990 and started training Capoeira in 2000. I am a member of Bantu Beira Mar and my mestres are Mestre Tarzan and Contra-Mestre Bundo.
