The International Capoeira Angola Foundation (ICAF) founded in 1996, seeks to offer a place to all people interested in Capoeira Angola and its ancestors since the ancient days in Africa and Brazil. Mestre Jurandir (USA/West Coast), Mestre Cobra Mansa (USA/East Coast), and Mestre Valmir (Brazil), the ICAF leaders, continue to teach and transfer to their students Mestre Pastinha’s legacy. Their primary goals are to teach, research, and spread Capoeira Angola throughout the world as a movement of resistance and self-liberation. These objectives has made ICAF known as a community-based organization that advocates for a non-oppressive and equal society for all.
