From what I can tell, Brazilian jiu-jitsu mostly involves rolling around on the ground with v attractive, v sweaty men. So in some ways, though I’d never tried it before this week, I’ve been preparing for this sport my entire adult life (Hey-oh!) . Based on a similar project to offer the kids of Trancoso free capoeira lessons, last year @uxuacasa began partnering with local instructor Vandão Falcão of @despertartrancoso to do the same with jiu-jitsu. . . “A lot of these kids don’t have the money to pay even a small fee for lessons,” Vandão told me through a translator. The partnership, then, has “exceeded every expectation.“ Now, the center is able to provide a uniform (gi) for each student for free, and sponsor @falcaoetam_oficial to travel to competitions. . . Though jiu-jitsu is a sport typically dominated by men, @uxuacasa and Vandão have also worked to ensure an equal number of boys and girls participate in these classes. . . Enjoy this latest installment of David Does Brazilian Sports poorly… Then swipe to the next video to see many of Vandão’s students kicking butt. (Fortunately not mine) . . . . . #Trancoso #Bahia #Brazil #jiujitsu #uxua #travel #travelbloggers #instatravel #travelwriter #explore #travelgram #wanderlust #adventureseeker #doyoutravel #travelblogging #tblogger #globetrotter #exploremore

Trancoso, on Brazil’s bahian coast, has more or less looked the same, architecturally, since it was founded in the 1500s by Jesuit priests—colorful, single story structures situated around a rectangular courtyard (the “quadrado”). A white church, the second oldest in Brazil according to locals, stands at the far end, overlooking the ocean. . Trancoso remained untouched for so long in large part thanks to its remoteness… The town didn’t even have a road connecting it to the rest of Brazil until the 1970s. It got its first ATM machine in the early 2000s. (Which is currently broken) Today, the town’s buildings and church are UNESCO protected. . During the day, Trancoso’s many shops and restaurants don’t even bother to open since practically the entire town, tourists and locals alike, treks to one of the many stunning white sand beaches nearby. A 10 minute walk from the quadrado down a centuries-old fisherman’s path brings you to a couple of the most famous: Praia dos Nativos and Praia dos Coqueiros. . . . . . #Trancoso #Bahia #Brazil #travel #travelbloggers #instatravel #travelwriter #passportready #explore #travelgram #waderlust #adventureseeker #travelblogging #tblogger #globetrotter #exploremore

So maybe I did fall on my face multiple times during my capoeira lessons these past few days in Trancoso. But in my defense, I was drunk. . Ok fine I wasn’t, I was just exceptionally bad at it. While my ego (and face) are a bit bruised, it was still such an incredible experience working with Trancoso’s famed capoeira instructor @diney_trancoso as research for an upcoming article on his partnership with the amazing @uxua resort. . Thanks to this collaboration, Diney is able to provide capoeira lessons to local kids for free. It’s a project that all parties involved take seriously, and one that’s resulted in a life-altering change for many of Disney’s students, as well as for the larger Trancoso community. . Swipe to the second video to see Diney’s incredible capoeira class in action (and to see people who manage to not repeatedly fall on their face .) .
