Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know before you begin your Capoeira journey with us.
What exactly is Capoeira?
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian cultural practice that combines elements of martial arts, dance, music and ritual. Developed by enslaved Africans in Brazil, it was disguised as a dance to hide its fighting techniques. Today, Capoeira is practiced worldwide as a unique blend of combat, acrobatics, music and cultural expression.
Do I need prior experience?
No! Our classes are tailored for beginners and people without prior experience. Anyone of any age or fitness level can start training Capoeira. Our supportive environment lets you learn at your own pace.
What should I wear?
For your first sessions, a sporty outfit works fine — a t-shirt and long trousers. We train barefoot, so no shoes. After signing up, you can buy the traditional white Capoeira uniform (Abadá) directly from us.
Capoeira for children?
Capoeira is ideal for children. It improves coordination, builds self-confidence and respect for others, and introduces kids to a new culture and language in a playful way. Our children's classes are structured differently from the adult ones and offer age-appropriate activities and games.
How often should I train?
For beginners we recommend at least two sessions per week to make progress. The more you train, the faster you'll improve. Consistency matters more than frequency, especially at the start.
What's included in the monthly membership?
Your monthly membership gives you access to all regular classes for your age group. You can also join our weekend activities and Rodas (the Capoeira circle).
