Capoeira a game, a play and great fun

Our capoeira group was founded by Gato Preto when he visited Copenhagen during on a tour of Europe with capoeira masters and professors from Brazil. We're happy he decided to stay behind. Read more about us.

About capoeira

During the last 10 years the school in Copenhagen has become a vibrant capoeira community.

We are proud of the work we have done over these years in Copenhagen. We love our community of students and friends.

The members of our group was origianilly from Rio de Janeiro. The group fused Angola and Regional styles of capoeira (see more under courses), with influenses from the 2 great mestres Bimba and Pastinha, whilst at the same time developing this new style of play.

Our branch holds classes in Copenhagen (Nørrebro & Valby).

What's training capoeira like ?

To get an idear about how's it like to train capoeira see this film. It's a documentary made at Vancouver Film School, but it gives a good impression of what it's like.

Usually a training session of Capoeira consist of:

  • Worm up
  • Stretching exercises
  • Ginga exercises - where everybody does the same moves to music
  • Training is split up into Beginners And Intermediary (Team Up & Coming) - and graduado
  • Rodâ - improvised one-on-one capoeira games in a circle with song, clapping and music See a Rodâ
