About the Class
In our classes students increase their flexibility, agility, balance, fitness, and self-confidence. They practice music, singing, and the beautiful movements of capoeira. Beginners are always welcome, and often experience an incredible transformation in their lives! Classes are taught in a safe, fun and friendly environment in English, Japanese, and Portuguese.
What do I have to Wear?
Wear comfortable pants and a sports T-shirt or Tank Top. Track pants are good, if you have a capoeira abada and t-shirt from another group, you are welcome to wear that.
Bantus Members: You must wear a Bantus uniform or Bantus street clothes every class. The cord from your batizado must always be worn with the white Bantus uniform, but never with other pants.
What do I have to bring?
Bring a sweat towel and a bottle of water. Please don’t eat during the class, but come with enough energy to burn. During winter, bring some indoor sports shoes and a tracksuit to warm up in.
