Mestre Curió is a capoeira Angola mestre from Salvador, Brazil, known for his deceptive fighting style.^[1] He was a disciple of mestre Pastinha.

Curió has been known to feign injuries, call women from the audience into the roda for protection, and threaten opponents with hidden weapons.^[1] He also uses a variety of facial expressions, shouts, and pauses to distract his opponents. Many capoeira players consider Curió to be the most dangerous mestre because of his unpredictable and creative fighting style.^[1]
