I know of Argentinian knife-fighting but not Brazilian, apart from the movie Exposure.

The emphasis on defensive body motion is interesting!

do you know if it is "esgrima criolla"? I've seen a video on youtube and I wasn't aware of any other argentinian knife systems...

I'm afraid I don't know much beyond the name (Gaucho, also the name of a knife). See here for Venezuelan stickfighting, though.
