Capoeira Angola Palmares Merced’s (CAPM) mission is to promote, to preserve, and to teach the Afro-Brazilian artform of Capoeira Angola as passed down by the founder of Capoeira Angola Palmares, Grande-Mestre Norival Moreira de Oliveira (Nô). CAPM provides classes, workshops, seminars, and demonstrations in traditional Capoeira Angola.

CAPM is led by Monitor Dourado who is under the direct guidance of Mestre Gulliver, a certified master of Capoeira Angola by Grande-Mestre Nô.

 Monitor Dourado was introduced to Capoeira Angola Palmares by Monitor Bambu, a student of Mestre Gulliver, and became instantly captivated with the techniques, training methodology, and philosophical approach of Mestre Nô, the founder of Capoeira Angola Palmares. Dourado began training with Capoeira Angola Palmares in 2004, and then established CAPM in 2007.
