Mestre Testa (Kevin Brett) began training Capoeira 30 years ago as one of Mestre Barrão’s first students in Canada. After a 7 year apprenticeship with his mentor, he took over full time teaching duties of the group in Victoria, BC, always maintaining a strong connection with his teacher. The Victoria Academy quickly became well known internationally as a strong reference for Capoeira worldwide, developing many high level capoeiristas up to the level of Professor. Testa participated in all but the first of Mestre Barrão’s CDs, and later recorded his own tracks on Volume 4 and Vou Embolar. He leads a 9 piece band, Batuque Axé which performs to critical acclaim both locally and abroad and wrote and recorded his first Capoeira Album, A Tradição, in 2019. A true adherent to the belief that Capoeira is a complete art form, he’s developed a rich cultural tradition in the city where he lives. Because of the high level of his students and his work, Kevin has been invited to teach in many locations across Canada & The US, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Poland, China, Russia, Kazakhstan, The Dominican Republic and Turkey. Axé Capoeira Victoria currently offers professional instruction in Capoeria, Music, Dance & Vale Tudo to both children and adults and runs classes out of it’s downtown academy as well as the University of Victoria.
