Capoeira is the dynamic art form that incorporates dancing, martial arts as well as aerial and ground acrobatics in one fluid mix. The Brazilian art form is often regarded as one of the most unique martial arts/dance styles to emerge with its high energy music combined with dance and combat moves.

Originally developed by the slaves during the colonial times in Brazil, disguising dangerous combat techniques in beautiful effortless dance carried by the rhythmical music that is so characteristic of Brazil today Capoeira is both exciting and fun as well as challenging and complex.


Capoeira, through its movements, helps to build self-confidence, increases flexibility and improves physical fitness. Through its Music, gives rhythm and builds community.

For the last 23 years I've spent my time trying different Martial Arts, practicing what I've learnt and exploring new styles.  As much as I have enjoyed these varied artforms one style has captured my imagination.

 

Capoeira.

 

Since 2001, when I started training in Australia, I have not stopped.  Now under the guidance of Mestre Samara - Amsterdam, I am now teaching in Hastings, East Sussex, UK.
