Join us in January for beginner capoeira classes – a fun way to get into shape.
Come try out this Afro-Brazilian martial art as a fun way to keep fit, with a capoeira class in central London. Challenge yourself for the new year and gain extra strength and confidence! These classes are aimed at new beginners and will run throughout January.
You will learn kicks, sweeps, defence moves, basic acrobatics as well as the instruments and music that accompanies the roda (circle) where two capoeiristas play each other, similar to sparring. We are a welcoming, friendly group that enjoys the social side of training together too.
Our teacher is Mestre Julio Sanhaço, who moved to the UK from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 15 years ago, to found the London branch of Grupo Senzala, together with Mestre Peixinho.
