Yes I know Mestre Barrao and even better his son Marcus Vinicios, and Lelo as well, they have fought for me in a couple Promotional companies I founded back when I lived in Vancouver. Great guys and incredible athletes. This is why I was interested if any Capoeiras are active fighters in the DR.

A few members of the DR based branch of Axe Capoeira are involved in other martial arts, TKD, Muay Thai and BJJ mainly, but as far as I know, except for the group leader Boa Vida, they are not active fighters at this time, but the weekly roda do get a little rough sometimes, nothing too violent. I guess the invest their energy in all the other aspects of the art, the singing and instruments playing. Axe Capoeira has a strong and rich musical side.
