What is Capoeira?
What is Capoeira?
An Afro-Brazilian Martial Art
An Afro-Brazilian Martial Art
Before we had terms like Combatives or MMA, we had Capoeira as our established form of Street Defense.
It is said that the African people of Brazil created this martial art in the 16th century when they disguised combative training as games of dance and folklore.
Capoeira has many layers to its mysticism. Its practitioners gain nicknames to both empower and protect the student. Deceptive strikes, sweeps, and takedowns are celebrated and there is a strong connection between Capoeira, consciousness, and Afro-religions. Not to mention the inseparable presence of music.
The curriculum is widely immersive covering combat, music, dance, and spirituality to an extent that takes lifetimes to explore.

We have the privilege of practicing an art that was once entirely illegal.
We have the privilege of practicing an art that was once entirely illegal.
From the 1600s until 1940, you could have been fined, imprisoned, dismembered, or worse for practicing this beautiful art.
Capoeiristas were associated with trouble - often being contracted as Enforcers by the Gangs, Mobs, and the Military. They all recognized an essential thing:
Capoeira forges an UNPARALLELED level of athleticism, awareness, and physical ability.
When given proper examination, Capoeira can be a powerful universal tool for academics, cross-training, and general wellness.
Nowadays,
Capoeira is safe and great for kids, seniors, and everything in between.
Whether you need a family activity for fitness, self-defense, an expression of spirituality, or even competitive MMA training -
Capoeira has something to offer you.
