AXÉ Capoeira Academy

Yes, children are a core part of the academy and the environment is welcoming for young beginners. Instructors teach the physical movements alongside the culture and origins of capoeira.

Absolutely, classes welcome complete beginners alongside experienced students. Expect a mix of martial arts, music and dance rather than a strict fighting class.

Classes blend footwork, attacks, defenses and acrobatics with Afro-Brazilian percussion and capoeira songs. The music and singing are as much a part of training as the movement.
