Brazilian Capoeira in Colorado Springs
Capoeira is a unique Brazilian art form that combines elements of martial arts,
dance, music and acrobatics. In capoeira classes students develop physically, emotionally,
and mentally as they train Capoeira's challenging movements, learn to play traditional
instruments, sing music in Portuguese, and apply their training in an exciting improvised
"game" that helps students develop their personal strength, response time, creativity,
courage, and self-expression.
What is Capoeira?
Capoeira was developed in Brazil, but its history extends to Africa and tribes from
Angola. Slaves living on Brazilian plantations who weren't allowed to openly practice
traditional forms of self-defense developed an ingenious method of disguising their
training by combining it with dance-like movements, singing, and the rhythms of
primitive instruments. The result was a "game" of fluid ground movements, spinning
kicks, and daring acrobatics set to the energetic clapping and singing of spectators.
Capoeira has evolved over centuries into an exciting combination of martial arts,
dance, acrobatics, and live music. What is Capoeira? The best way to answer this
question is to try a class and experience capoeira for yourself!
Check out what our students are saying about our program!
"I am a 20 year veteran Martial Artist but Capoeira was not one of the styles that
I studied. I was looking for a form of Karate that my kids would enjoy and that
was different from the typical styles that are available. I brought my family by
to watch a class and we were all extremely impressed.
"Capoeira combines physical fitness, Martial Arts techniques, culture and music
which create a unique experience that can't be found in any other style that I've
seen. The classes are fun, entertaining and a fantastic workout.
"If you are looking to get into shape and learn an exciting Martial Art that you
will enjoy practicing, you owe it to yourself to come by Brazilian Capoeira and
watch a class."
--Tony Orr -- Parent of two students
"Not only did it help me get in shape, but the people there were amazing. They were
very welcoming and inviting. The instructors were not condesending at all. Anyone
could start out for the first time and feel welcome.
"The fact that it is so different from any other martial arts makes it all the more
interesting and cool:) I love telling people that I train Capoeira and telling them
the history behind it. I really do love Capoeira!"
--Abby Laxson -- Brazilian Capoeira student
