This statement intends to highlight the cultural-political experience of the Associação Cultural Corrente Libertadora (Cultural Association: Liberation Movement) in the city of São Paulo, from 1976 to 2004. Being particularly involved with the practice of Capoeira in the city outskirts, this Association used it as an instrument for the articulation, mobilization and intervention in the social sphere of the community. While facing administrative and financial difficulties resulting from the popular appeal of this group, the brothers Modesto Ms. Maurício, Ms. Eufradísio, Ms. Tigrão and Magnólia, experienced the pressure and conflicts related to the Capoeira concepts and techniques, aware of the need to respond to a continued movement of social demands. Participation in these popular movements in the 70 s and 80 s contributed to the development of a political positioning of this Association, but the closer contact from mutual talks, actions and struggles concerning the guarantee of rights, mainly as to the care of children and adolescents in personal and social risk situations in the 90 s, intensified the inner differences, which resulted in disruption and in redefinition of the rules and regulations of the Association. This context led to the strengthening of Ms.Tigrão and made the learning process of Capoeira the central point of the cultural-political performance of the Asssociation. We have focussed our attention on the learning process of Capoeira as a tool for character formation as well as on the cultural and political aspects which directed us towards building partnerships with the Organized Civil Society and the Public Sector as a strategy for expansion and accessibility to services that are free of charge - contributing to the formation of citizenship
