What you can expect
Capoeira is more than a martial art — it is resistance, rhythm, ancestry, and freedom expressed through movement.
Born among enslaved Africans in Brazil, Capoeira was once criminalized, just like other Afro-Brazilian cultural expressions. Yet through resilience and brilliance, it survived — and evolved.
Your class takes place at the first Capoeira school ever founded in Brazil (1937), created by Mestre Bimba, the visionary who developed Capoeira Regional and helped legitimize Capoeira as a respected cultural practice.
Training here is not just a workout — it is stepping inside living history.
This beginner-friendly experience requires no prior training. You will learn the fundamental movements, attacks, defences, and the flow of the game, while understanding the music, rhythm, and traditions that guide Capoeira. Feel the energy of Salvador. Move with intention. Connect with Afro-Brazilian heritage.
This is more than a class — it’s an immersion into culture, strength, and community.
