Question
I am a screenwriter in L.A. working on a film about Capoeira. Though I know the spirit of Capoeira has very little to do with competition, there are Capoeira tournaments and competitions.
Do you happen to know how they score these competitions? If not, do you know where I might find that information? There's a lot about Capoeira on the web, but nothing about how they score competitions. Please help!
David:
This is out of my area of expertise at the moment tho I can do some research on it. I suggest you go to the website www.brazilmax.com and ask for Bill Hinchberger, he might be able to help you. Or try www.gringoes.com and ask for Keiran Gartlan.
Feel free to contact me directly if you need more Brazil help with the movie, or if Bill and Keiran cant help you. Im at rapoza@igc.org.
Best,
Kenneth Rapoza
