About Me
- SidneyRichman
- Sidney Richman is a nom-de-guerre, or deflective soubriquet. As in:- "In capoeira, a Brazilian martial art, a pseudonym is traditionally given to a capoeirista (Capoeira practitioner) at their first batizado, or promotion ceremony. Capoeiristas refer to each other almost exclusively by their Capoeira names, a tradition that dates prior to practicing Capoeira being legalized in Brazil. Since punishments for practicing Capoeira were often harsh, it was used as a means of remaining anonymous and protecting fellow practitioners from being caught, as well as any retribution their families might otherwise endure." It's not my family's fault.
