Professor Índio has been learning and teaching Capoeira since 1986. He is a three-time Brazilian champion in Capoeira JEBS (1988, 1989 and 1990). This national competition featured students of Mestre Bimba and Mestre Pastinha, including Mestre Ezequiel, Mestre Itapuã, Mestre Paulo dos Anjos, and Mestre João Pequeno among others as officials. Professor Índio’s involvement in Capoeira encompasses teaching children on the streets of Brazil to invitations to teach adults at prominent universities across the United States.
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian blend of martial art, game, and dance created by enslaved Africans in Brazil during the 16th Century. Portugal shipped slaves into South America from western Africa and Brazil was one of the many American destinations for African captives. These Africans brought their cultural traditions and religions with them to the New World. Capoeira emerged as a way to resist oppression, secretly practice art, transmit culture, and lift spirits.
Interested in training with us? Our training schedule is broken into three classes: Introduction, Intermediate for Children, and Intermediate. Each of these classes are designed to familiarize yourself with the art of Capoeira. As students advance, they will be exposed to more advanced training that requires even more commitment!
