About Us:
Nassib El Khoury (Grandão) started training Capoeira with the “Filhos de Bimba Escola de Capoeira” in the nucleus of Zagreb, Croatia run by Ivo Reis dos Anjos known as Professor Bacteria in September 2008. Upon his return to his home country Lebanon in 2009, he decided to start a nucleus of FBEC with the help of Alan Rocha Paixao (Sardão). This led to the opening of the first entity of Filhos de Bimba Escola de Capoeira in Beirut, Lebanon and in the Middle East on April 1st 2009.
Since Alan was not a formed professor yet, Roberta Cecília Meireles Santana (Professor Chapinha) became the responsible of the school and its activities in May 2009. She was later joined by Ricardo Santos de Jesus (Professor Anum) in November 2009.
