capoeira

home program ..

Capoeira is a unique Afro-Brazilian blend of dance, acrobatics, music, song and self defence. It was created more than 400 years ago by African slaves in Brazil as a means to free themselves from their captors and today is the second most popular sport in Brazil (after soccer of course!).
You may be familiar with Capoeira from the video games Tekken 3 (a martial arts fighting game, the most popular video game in history!), 4 & 5 (available on Sony Playstation1&2). These games feature the characters Eddy Gordo & Christie Monteiro who are Capoeiristas!! Students may also have seen Capoeira on the movie “Only the Strong” available at video stores or on some
very recent movies: Ocean’s Twelve, Catwoman, The Rundown. For more information see WWW.CAPOEIRA.CC/about.php
Participants will safely learn from scratch and exercises are tailored to each individual's abilities and fitness levels.

Instructor Jensen has been training, teaching and performing Capoeira for 10 years, including a year in the birthplace of the art, Brazil. He is the current Asia Pacific Capoeira Champion, as crowned by the Superliga Brasileira de Capoeira (Brazilian Capoeira Superleague).

With his master, Mestre Cicatriz, they established the first official Capoeira academies in
Indonesia,
Thailand and Cambodia.
