Amazing experience! It’s a workout but you learn so much. I left knowing the basics of capoeira. The teacher is excellent and makes sure everyone has learned before moving on.

The instructor was very friendly professional and inclusive. We had never done this before as a mum & daughter pair of tourists. There were others more experienced & everyone was kind. It was a fun class & lovely to see about Brazilian martial arts

Highlights

  • We're the First Capoeira School in Brazil -since 1937- founded by Mestre Bimba.

  • Get ready to learn about the cultural and historical importance of Capoeira.

Full description

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian MARTIAL ART that combines FIGHT, CULTURE, DANCE, MUSIC and ACROBATICS. It teaches discipline, self-defense, physical fitness, and on top of all of that is extremely connected to the Afro-Brazilian ancestry.
The class is directed to BEGINNERS students who have NEVER TRAINED Capoeira.
So don't worry, it is not necessary to have any type of experience! You will be just fine.
I will teach you the attacks, defenses and flow movements.
Be prepared to breathe the culture of Salvador. Training with us, you will learn so much more than just the exercise, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Vamos!
