Mestre Ferradura possesses broad projection while defending the Brincadeira de Angola method, which is a pedagic-philosophic based on the educational potential, applying Capoeira as a transformative pedagogic practice in autonomous subjects formation, and deconstruction of racism through the valorization of the African roots.[4][5] The basis of the methology is the ancestral knowledge of Capoeira, passed on from master to disciple in a traditional way. By balancing these popular and academic knowledge, the Brincadeira de Angola method suggest a Capoeira Pedagogy.[6] Another contribution by Mestre Ferradura to the Capoeira community was the production of "Movimento Novo" (New Movement), along with Mestre Itapuã Beira-Mar, which brought discussions around the resulting violence from the contact of Capoeirists from different schools and proposes a pacific interaction to the new generations.[7][8]

When we bring Capoeira de Rua for them, is a bit of culture and visibility. At the same time, we bring the idea of social circle, the look eye-in-the-eye, the care, the shelter, the belonging, and the knowledge that in that circle, you are just one capoeirist.

—Mestre Ferradura, in an interview to Brazilian news program "Balanço Geral", in December, 2019. [27]

Homeless people goes through a process of invisibilization. At Capeoira, we have necessarily to look at each other, interact, touch, know a bit of our feelings and needs of each other. The student's self-esteem is enhanced when he's seen, when he's heard, in his most basic needs of care, shelter, and belonging.
