Capoeira Class in Salvador de Bahia

Join us for an immersive experience in Salvador de Bahia as we explore Brazilian history and culture by learning the famous martial art of capoeira!

Capoeira: Art or Sport?

Capoeira is a sport with Afro-Brazilian origins that combines martial arts with dance and music. It has roots in the legend of enslaved African descendants in Brazil, dating back to the end of the 16th century in Quilombo dos Palmares. This discipline is marked by various blows and agile movements, distinguished by its musicality. Capoeiristas learn to play traditional instruments like the berimbau, atabaque, pandeiro, and reco-reco.

Those who disregard the importance of music in capoeira are often viewed as incomplete fighters. Are you up for the challenge?
