RISE TRAINING ACADEMY BIOS
RISE TRAINING ACADEMY
Rise Training Academy is a cultural space providing wellness and martial arts instruction to the underserved South Side community. We add to the continuing revitalization of the area providing services not currently offered within our neighborhoods. Our mission is to make Rise Training a center for healthy and positive activities as a part of everyday life. We believe that learning capoeira is an excellent way to introduce and immerse arts, culture, and fitness to people of all ages. Exercise and movement are beneficial to combating stress and are known to help improve mood. Martial arts are known to improve self-confidence and discipline. Rise Training is a hub for community resources through collaboration with local businesses and organizations. We host health and wellness events on a monthly basis for the community. These events are family-friendly and always free of charge. |
Contra Mestre Tinta Forte
Contra Mestre Tinta Forte, as he is known in the capoeira community, is Co-Owner of Rise Training Academy. He was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago in the West Pullman neighborhood. After high school, Victor started training in the Afro-Brazilian martial art of capoeira with Mestre Marisa Cordeiro of Gingarte Capoeira in 1999. Mestre Marisa’s capoeira group was often booked to perform at Brazilian cultural shows. As a performer, Victor was able to experience all parts of the city and is grateful for this art that teaches pride through an Afrocentric experience. Although the majority of his capoeira training has been in Chicago, Contra Mestre Tinta Forte has trained capoeira all over the world including extensive periods of time in Brazil. He managed his own capoeira group while living in Albuquerque, New Mexico for several years before returning to Chicago. Contra Mestre Tinta Forte has taught throughout the United States and abroad.
