Capoeira Malungos

About our name: The group of Malungos

During the days of slavery in Brazil, a large part of the slave population was Kimbundu-speaking Africans. They used the term "malungu" as a greeting, meaning anyone who had travelled on the same ship together. Gradually the term was addobted into Portuguese with the extended meaning of companions or friends (often travelling together). 
  Our group consist of a large number of capoeira friends from all over Europe and Brazil - travelling together on a common quest to become better capoeristas.
  Our name refers to this journey and our openness towards new people and ideas.

The teaching method

We are proud to use our method of training which has been developed by mastres of old.

We describe the method like:

  • Practical teaching centralized in the students, focusing in their interests, needs and learning rhythms.
  • Respect for each one’s personality, valuing its own identity, developing ones consciousness and promoting the developing of self-confidence.
  • Proposing teaching methods that go beyond the classical styles of Capoeira (Angola and Regional) without loosing the traditions of the art itself.
  • Great creativity and constant evaluation of its activities towards the improving of quality.
  • And we use the 8 Sequences of Mestre Bimba - "Sequencia de Bimba" - to teach the inner workings of the game.
