for adults

Our classes are structured so that every student, no matter their physical starting point, age, or experience will be able  to advance  and develop abilities in the most correct, healthy and enjoyable way.

 

We believe that above all our students must feel that they are joining an empowering space where they feel at home and  from there will begin the process of learning and training the art of capoeira

 

with classes such as: Capoeira foundations, advanced Capoeira, flexibility and strength training, acrobatics and florio (floor transitions) as well as all of the music and circles held on  On a weekly basis we will study the art in the  most profound level, and along the way we will improve strength, flexibility and mobility

 

Capoeira foundations class

​

 

In the foundations classes we will train in small groups and learn basic movements and concepts of the art of capoeira, we will begin to understand what physical dialogue is all about, fascinating fighting techniques, flow, and we will begin to develop strength, flexibility, coordination and mobility on our way to the more advanced stages

 

"The group"

 

 

In "the group" classes we will practice andvanced movements and ideas. Beginning from the co-operative all the way to the combative,  we will understand  tactics and 'Malandragem' - cunning. We will practice 'sequencias' - sequences - and we will learn all three styles of capoeira 'Regional' 'Angola' and 'Contemporary'

The "group" classes can also be joined by a beginner student, provided that they attends at least one basic class a week as well
