São Bento Grande:
São Bento Grande, also referred to as São Bento Grande de Bimba is the rhythm sets regional apart from Angola. This game represents the fight of capoeira. In this game is where you see all of the kicks and strikes that capoeira has that are seen in MMA highlight reels. It is characterized by its high velocity and explosive movements.
Another obvious difference is that São Bento Grande games are very short in comparison to Angola or Benguela games. Because of the intensity of this style of play it is not possible to maintain it for an extended period of time.
When we train São Bento Grande we train short explosive combinations and quick reaction time. While we are focussing on São Bento Grande we will spend a lot of time cleaning up the details of our kicks to make sure we are being as efficient with our movements as possible, which in turn leads to being able to play faster. We will also spend a lot more time doing strength and cardio condition to be able to make our movements match the intensity that the rhythm is calling for.

| Ilha de maré Ilha de maré Ilha de maré Ilha de maré Ilha de maré Olha no jogo da vida Vá no caminho correto O meu Mestre já dizia Que no fim tudo dá certo Ilha de maré Ilha de maré Faça sua oração Lá na igreja do Bonfim Se nada não der certo É porque não é o fim Ilha de maré Ilha de maré Eu fui lá na Bahia Uma cidade ancestral Onde vieram os negros Trazendo o seu Berimbau Ilha de maré Ilha de maré A roda da Capoeira Tem defesa e ataque E além do Berimbau O negro trouxe o Atabaque Ilha de maré Ilha de maré O meu Mestre me falou Fique esperto e ligeiro Não podemos esquecer Que o negro trouxe o Pandeiro Ilha de maré Ilha de maré Luta maliciosa Já dizia meu avô Fico me perguntando De onde veio o Agogô Ilha de maré Ilha de maré Music by: Formando Aritana Group Capoeira Brasil | Island Tide Island Tide Island Tide Island Tide Island Tide Look at the game of life Go on the right path My Master already said That in the end everything works out Island Tide Island Tide Make your prayer There in the church of Bonfim If nothing goes wrong It's because it's not the end. Island Tide Island Tide I went there in Bahia An ancestral city Where did the blacks come from? Bringing your Berimbau Island Tide Island Tide The Wheel of Capoeira Has defense and attack And beyond the Berimbau The Negro brought the Atabaque Island Tide Island Tide My teacher told me Stay smart and light We can not forget That the Negro brought the Pandeiro Island Tide Island Tide Malicious fight I already said my grandfather I keep asking myself Where did Agogô come from? Island Tide Island Tide Music by: Forando Aritana Group Capoeira Brazil |

Ilha de maré is a place in Brazil. It is a small island off of the coast of Brazil, and is part of the municipality of Salvador. The islands economy is based on fishing, small family owned farms, and tourism.
You hear Ilha de maré referenced all of the time in capoeira lyrics for several reasons. One important reason is that it is the where one of the most influential mestres was born, Mestre Waldemar.
Below is an excerpt from http://capoeira-connection.com/capoeira/2011/10/interview-with-mestre-waldemar/. For more information follow the link and you can read much more about who mestre Waldemar was and why he was such an influential person in capoeira.
Mestre Waldemar, who began the practice of capoeira in 1936 at 20 years old, was a student of Canário Pardo, Peripiri, Talabi, Siri-de-Mangue and Ricardo of Ilha de Maré: “I asked those men to teach me, so that I could become professional. So that I could say that I knew, and now I know. I learned capoeira,” stated the mestre. He began to teach capoeira in 1940, the year in which the demonstrations on the Estrada da Liberdade began: “Earlier, it was in open air. Later I made a shed of straw and the capoeiristas of Bahia all came there to play.”
