CAPOEIRA FORTE Perth

 

 

What is capoeira?

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines elements of acrobatics, dance and music. It was developed by enslaved Africans in Brazil at the beginning of the 16th century. It is known for its acrobatic and complex movements, often involving hands on the ground and inverted kicks. Emphasizing flowing movements rather than fixed stances, the ginga - a rocking step - is usually the focal point of the technique. The most widely accepted origin of the word capoeira comes from the Tupi words ka'a ("forest") paΕ© ("round"), referring to the areas of low vegetation in the Brazilian interior where fugitive slaves would hide. A practitioner of the art is called a capoeirista.

WHY CHOOSE US?

We value each individual's potential and aim to get the most out of it. We also offer free tutorials of the movements we teach in class, such as the below video of the 'Armada de costa' kick.

 
 

This can help you review the movements at your own pace and spot details that may get missed during class.

We build classes with small groups (maximum of 10 kids and 12 adults) to ensure that every student is safe while moving and that the teacher is able to properly oversee every student.

We are fitness and functional training experts, which means that our classes are not only focused on Capoeira movements,
but it also ensures high levels of training, helping you to achieve your fitness and strength goals while having fun and learning to play Capoeira.

Our purpose

Our purpose is to empower an individual’s physical, mental and social abilities through the art of Capoeira. Capoeira can not only teach you how to defend yourself with martial arts techniques, but it will also teach you acrobatic movements, how to play an instrument and how to speak a new language (Brazilian Portuguese).

Come and join one of our classes to see how fun, interesting and challenging capoeira is. You will be surprised to see how much you can improve in only one class!

For us, is much more than just teaching Capoeira. It’s the positive impact we have on our students’ lives that make us proud of what we do!

Have you ever seen what a cabaça looks like before the final product used alongside the berimbau? Well it's actually the bottom part of a hollowed and dried out gourd. And as the fruits vary in size, so do they result in the different sizes of cabaça - categorised into Gunga, Medio and Viola. Our good friend @dobraomaneiro happened to accidentally grow a calabash plant from the seeds of a gourd he was cutting one day, and it is producing beautifully 🌿 Thank you Rasta for very kindly gifting us one of the most perfectly rounded gourds we've ever seen πŸ˜πŸ™πŸΌ ** Btw he crafts all sorts of cool things from them, check the last pic for an insane cabaça lamp!! #craftycapoeirista #cabaça #cabaca #gourd #calabashplant #calabashtree #nature #naturegives #capoeirainstrument #capoeira #capoeiristas #capoeirafortebergamo #capoeiraforteperth

Last night the wonderful group I came from held a roda, and welcomed me back as a family usually does. Little did I know there was a surprise waiting. My esteemed teacher Prof. Amigo @roberto_belotti_amigo presented unto me my next level cord. I am very thankful and humbled to not only my mother group Capeira Forte Bergamo @capoeiraforte.bg for their energy and encouragement, but especially to my teacher for his constant support and guidance, even from 14,000kms away (as well as to the @capoeiraforte group in Praia do Forte guided by Prof. Cacio @caciopf ). This support has been an immense help in establishing a branch of Capoeira Forte in Perth, and helping spread the passion and practise of Capoeira. On that note, another special thank you to my wonderful students back in Perth, who I would not be able to call myself a teacher without. You guys all bring something special to our humble group, and I cannot wait to see you all back in class! (Not too much longer I promise πŸ˜…). Axé!! Instrutor Lorinho.
