This dissertation focuses on the analysis of knowledge within the circle of Capoeira Angola in the formation process of a Capoeira master from a Popular Education perspective and in the fight against racism. To this end, the following specific objectives were established: a) to identify the knowledge and practices required for the formation of a Capoeira master in the 2000s, based on Capoeira principles; b) to understand how the transformation process from Capoeira master to the current Capoeira educator-master took place within the framework of Popular Education; and c) to reflect on how the master aids in enhancing the education of ethnic-racial relations between Black and non-Black individuals and in combatting racism, drawing from the memory, oral traditions, and bodily practices of Capoeira. This research was qualitative in nature and employed a participatory research approach in which I immersed myself within the studied universe. The study was divided into three phases: bibliographic research, documentary research, and participatory research. Data collection methods included field diaries and semi-structured interviews. The author conducted semi-structured interviews with four Capoeira Angola masters and one mistress: Norival Moreira de Oliveira (Master Nô), founder of the Capoeira Angola Palmares Group in Salvador, Bahia; Lázaro dos Prazeres dos Santos (Master Lázaro), founder of the Warrior of Palmares Capoeira Angola Group in Salvador, Bahia; Marcos Antônio Batista (Master Sabiá), founder of the Badauê Capoeira Group in Campina Grande, Paraíba; Joseane Pinheiro Côrrea (Mistress Jô) from the Capoeira Angola Palmares Group in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina; and Marcos Antônio Santos Silva (Master Marcos Baiano) from Maceió, Alagoas, also of the Capoeira Angola Palmares Group. We will conduct a thematic analysis of the statements of the masters/mistress, referencing the theoretical and practical contributions of popular education, participatory research, and Capoeira Angola. The results aim to highlight the contributions of the Capoeira master training process from a popular education perspective. It will present potential considerations from a specific point in time and space that do not intend to be the sole answer to the initial question but will reflect on the relationship of the master/mistress and Capoeira Angola in the promotion of anti-racist education, the positive affirmation of Black identity for both Black and non-Black individuals, and the fight against racism.
