Bud Burdick was a Capoeira practitioner who lived in the New York metropolitan area. He had extensive experience teaching Capoeira to people of all ages at universities, academies, gyms, yoga studios, and teen centers. While attending college, Bud taught and inspired Capoeira students in the clubs he ran. His dance, choreographic, and performance experience was more than abundant during his time spent at The College at Brockport. Dance concerts this past spring featured choreography and performances by Bud. He had the opportunity to be a part of, and perform with, the Kista Tucker Dance Co. in Rochester, NY and was working with Kelley Donovan and Dancers in NYC. His strength as a leader in the Capoeira community was recognized while teaching various classes at the Capoeira Academy.
A personal trainer by profession, Bud believed that health and fitness is mandatory, regardless of your walk of life. A clean, organic diet fueled his ambitious desire to be as fit as possible so that he can be the best mover he can be.
“I listen to my body, and a vegan lifestyle works best. I am constantly moving, so I fuel my body appropriately. Since becoming a vegan, I have noticed that I heal faster and am stronger than I have ever been.”
