Capoeira originated from Brazil in the time of the slaves. It is a fighting technique they created to hide what they were training. Using different kinds of skills like acrobats, kicks, fuild movements, they were able to make a whole new art form.
They incorporated musical instruments to make others believe that they were only dancing, but in reality, they were getting strong to fight back.
We use instruments to keep the flow of our game. We play to the sound of the music. The beat and rhythm dictates how fast or slow we play.
The lineup consists of the berimbau, atabaque, pandeiro, and the agogo.
The berimbau leads the roda. It's rytham sets the game's tempo, the player's energy and the style of the movement. It is heartbeat of capoeira
The Atabaque brings depth and strength. Its powerful viberation kees the roda grounded and connected. It carries African traditions that shaped capoeira's foundation.
Reco Reco is specifically a scraper, that produces a rhythmic sound. It is played by rubbing a stick against its ribbed surface, which can be made of wood, bamboo, or metal with springs.
Light, Verstile and rhythmic. The pandeir adds swing, clarity and sharp accents that complete the capoeira sound. It ties melody and movement together.
Capoeira is a unique Afro-Brazilian martial art that blends dance, music, and acrobatics. It’s more than a fight — it’s a rhythm, a culture, and a celebration of movement.
Each motion in Capoeira connects strength, balance, and creativity. It teaches harmony between body and spirit through powerful, graceful techniques.
Capoeira is about unity and respect. Every roda (circle) brings people together — students, teachers, and musicians — to share energy, culture, and joy.
