When I first started this blog, I couldn’t really find that many other blogs about capoeira. Since then, I’ve discovered that I’m not alone out here.
Bahia-Capoeira Blog – This is a promising blog with some great content. Be sure to check out their tutorials on how to string the berimbau. They also have a store, always a good thing.
Gringa - The author’s description is perfect: “THIS IS THE STORY OF HOW CAPOEIRA, THE AFRICAN-BRAZILIAN MARTIAL ART/DANCE, BECAME PART OF LIFE FOR A BRITISH WOMAN WHO NOW LIVES IN BRAZIL” A really great personal history of one woman’s capoeira journey.
Jogo Log - This one hasn’t been updated since April, but it has some good stuff. Check out the Learning Portuguese for Capoeira post.
Generic Capoeira LJ – A LiveJournal community for capoeiristas.
’s Capoeira Blog – ’s blog about Capoeira, where he writes about experiences, sequences, and some thoughts about capoeira in general.
Mandingueira – Mandingueira is a blog about women, capoeira, and women in capoeira.
Soul Capoeira – A great resource with a wide range of subjects (tutorials, history, thoughts, etc).
So give these other internet capoeiristas a try. But remember to come back here to The Capoeira Blog every once in a while! =P

Comment by Compromisso July 30, 2007 @ 10:20 pmHehe, I don’t look at it as competition. I see it as community. I don’t have to be the only capoeira blog on the block. Everyone can offer something different and interesting.
I wouldn’t give people free advertising if I was worried about competition, haha.
Comment by faisca July 30, 2007 @ 10:24 pmI really enjoyed the Gringa blog–thanks for sharing otherwise I probably wouldn’t have ever stumbled across it on my own.
You’ve got a good thing going here–sharing ideas, knowledge, resources.

Peace.
