 | | Mestre Carlos Senna was born on October 28, 1931, in the city of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. |
 | | Mestre Senna remained part of the Centro de Cultura Física Regional Baiana —Mestre Bimba's capoeira academy—until 1953, becoming in 1954 the academy's technical director. |
 | | In Senavox, Mestre Senna introduced the use of the abadá (white clothing traditionally worn by carriage drivers, cargo loaders, and clothes collectors) as uniforms for capoeiristas (capoeira practioners), the salve (greeting that begins and ends a capoeira session), and a system of classification and competition. |
