*****************
Our Capoeira Group
Our Capoeira group in Cardiff is open to people of all abilities. We train with Contra Mestre Claudio Campos, who has been practicing Capoeira since 1991. Claudio taught in Capoeira Academies and schools in Brazil for 5 years, before moving to the UK in 2002. We are part of Nucleo de Capoeiragem, under the supervision of Mestres Jorge & Danilo.
About Capoeira
Capoeira is a Brazilian Art Form, which combines elements of dance, play and ritualistic fighting.
It evolved from the struggle of African slaves against their oppressors and its history is deep with
Warrior rituals from Central Africa.
Capoeira is a celebration of life in the face of everyday struggle. It develops confidence, combined with a
strong feeling of centre and balance. Capoeira's circular and evasive movements, combined with its rich tradition
of music and song, place it in a unique position as an art, and always poses the question "is Capoeira a game, a
fight or a dance"?
Capoeira games require the grace and agility of a dancer, with the strength and skill of a warrior. Always central to the message of Capoeira is unity and bringing people together to keep continual flow regardless of the game and to find peace, joy and fulfillment in the game and in life.
Don't forget our social night Brazilian Beatz which happens monthly, so come down to Warehouse in Bristol for a great night out including live capoeira and a set from DJ Vivo. Go to www.brazilianbeatz.co.uk for more details
