” I came to this group as a complete foreigner also from a vastly different group I trained with strictly for several years. When researching the closest capoeira I came across a street roda event for CJ and was greeted warmly by the instructors and students even though they didn’t know me. I returned a year later and they welcomed me back with open arms. I must travel quite far to make it to class when I can but it’s completely worth it. To my relief, I find this group to be an even better fit for my learning style. As with most groups of Capoeira it is culturally diverse but I find the sense of humor and respect for individuality to be especially inviting. I also really appreciate that there are 2 experienced instructors with very different teaching styles, I feel like each appeals to a different side of my brain. If you’re looking for a place that will lovingly support your journey as a capoeirista you should definitely give this place a try. I love the artistic and lively atmosphere of this studio and look forward to seeing how my game will improve and making more friends. I feel lucky to have found them! “
