Instructor Caranguejo - Peter
Peter is the longest standing member of the group and has been training with Jimi for over 10 years, not only in Capoeira but other martial arts too.
Peter has helped support Jimi’s teaching and to help the group grow, and plays a very important role in the organising and fundraising for the Batizado events.
Peter is a quiet man but can shoot you down in seconds with a super sharp one-liner! You never see it coming, and when it hits you theres no coming back!In recognition of his hard work and dedication, Caranguejo was presented with the Blue Cord (Instructor) of the Senzala group at the 10th Anniversary Batizado in 2004.
Peter also runs a number of his own classes in Sunderland.
