Teacher Experience
Coach Eurico aka
Professor Homem Aranha
Coach Eurico was raised in Capoeira under his father Mestre Yoji Senna, mother Professora Rebecca, grandfather Mestre Carlos Senna, and step-father Mestre Roque. After being given the nickname of "Aranha" or Spider, he discovered twin underground acrobatic artforms. One called “Martial Arts Tricking” which takes capoeira's kicks flips and twists to the next level. The other now popular sport is known as "Parkour" which uses jumping and climbing techniques to create a dazzling array of ninja-like agility. Lastly, Eurico has developed a deep appreciation for Maculele, which is like the younger brother of Capoeira, sharing many Afro-Brazilian elements but also carries two sticks in hand.
All 4 of these artforms Coach Eurico incorporates into his style of Capoeira. He has been a coach for over 15 years in various academic and athletic spaces as well as performed in various productions, most notably Marvel Universe LIVE as Spiderman & Woverine and also with Ballet Folclorico Do Brasil led by Mestre Amen. Coach Eurico aims to service the development of stunt performance on film and on stage, and to raise the standard of Capoeira in the United States.
