Capitães de Areia

Capoeira with Capitães de Areia

Our training programme starts with a “warm-up”: fitness training, gymnastics and stretching. These individual lessons are followed by more detailed specific exercises – basic movements, acrobatic movements and techniques of martial arts and martial dance. Partner training, rhythm and singing lessons and an introduction to playing the typical musical instruments round out the programme. It concludes with the “Roda”, the circle – consisting of the rhythm of the clapping fellow participants – in which two Capoeiristas are pitted against each other.

In addition to our regular training sessions, every year we conduct a series of workshops and Batizados, as well as projects for children and teenagers.
