We are Grupo Ondas. We are capoeiristas who teach both Brazilian and Cape Verdean cultures. Our main and ultimate goals are to help bridge the gap between the Brazilian and Cape Verdean cultures through Capoeira and use the art to teach New Wave Christian Values (10 principles), for they are values that we should all share in order to grow as better people, which will also reflect in our game and our being. Another goal of our group is to gain the reputation of positive, respectful, humble, open, non-discriminating capoeiristas who are committed to the development, education, and integration of the two cultures.

1. To build true confidence through knowledge in the mind, honesty in the heart, and strength in the body
2. To keep friendships with one another and to build and strong and happy community
3. Never fight to achieve selfish ends... Only fight to protect what is right
