Capoeira is a Brazilian Art form that is a dance, is a fight and is a culture in itself. It allows anyone, of any age, sex or background to explore their fitness, whether it's their strength, balance, flexibility, endurance, stamina or rhythm. Through practising capoeira, you can also experience and learn acrobatics, afro-brazilian dancing, samba and batucada (brazilian percusion and drumming), which make up an important part of the culture and history of capoeira and also Brazil. These all come together in a mesmerizing and enjoyable art.

You don't have to be the world's strongest man, or made of rubber, or can run for days on end (although if you are any or all of these, you will surely excel in this sport) to give Capoeira a go. All you need is a great positive attitude, willingness to have fun and become fit. So bring a friend or family member along with you because, where we train, we are all a close group of friends so that we can let loose and really enjoy the benefits this kind of atmosphere brings.
