CAPOEIRA

a holistic mind-body-soul practice

Capoeira is a martial art developed by African slaves in Brazil at the beginning of the 16th century. As a holistic practice, capoeira helped enslaved Africans fight against oppression, strengthen themselves and their communities, and liberate them from their daily suffering. Today, capoeira is an inclusive community, meaning anyone is invited to come and train as a Capoeirista (a practitioner of Capoeira).
