A class at Porto da Barra.
Capoeira Brasil Bahia is one of the newest additions to the Capoeira Brasil family. Training with Capoeira Brasil allows you access to many different Rodas and provides exposure to the various groups and styles of capoeira. You will be taken to meet many famous mestres and historical sites for capoeira, like the Saint Antonio Fort or the Mercado Modelo. We are dedeicated to further developing Capoeira as a community oriented and respected Martial art. Come and enjoy the energy.
Our classes normally start off with a dynamic warm-up and stretch. Throughout the class you are taught techniques and drills for strength, and agility. We incorporate some yoga stretches and some meditation techniques to help you with your control and concentration. Then at the end of the class we sometimes do a cool down stretch before we do some songs to boost your “axe” before we send you back into the world.
