Come prepared to sweat!!!! - Come prepared to experience something like never before. Bring loose fitting clothing and stretch prior to class. Bring water to drink afterwards. You will be sore a few days after class. Nevertheless, it’s an awesome experience.

A Unique Rio Experience! - This was a fun way to learn capoeira in Brazil and was an interesting counterpoint to typical tourist experiences. The dance is beautiful combining stylized martial arts and music, and the group was open to those of differing physical ability.

Great experience!!! - This was wonderful!! I'm a trained fighter and had a delightfully humbling experience. The group was welcoming thr instructor was a amazing and made me feel like i was already a part of a family. I would reckoned this to anyone looking for a unique experience especially if you want to learn something wonderful about Brasil a d it's culture. My wife was injured earlier in the day and didn't get to participate and still had a great time taking photos and playing the instruments. I would give this 10 stars if I could , just be ready to sweat !!!

100 % recommendable! - Unique experience. I had no idea that Capoeira had so many beautiful facets. Omri explained everything very well and after some practice I was able to join the rest of his group in singing and dancing for an even more authentic experience. 100% recommendable!
