The science of the art of capoeira

Capoeira Showreels

With over 9,000,000 views on YouTube and the internet these are the capoeira clips that made Capoeira Science famous. These are labour intensive capoeira videos of proffesional level players only, filmed in Brazil and the UK. When I get the opportunity to go, I scour Brazil for the finest capoeiristas I can lay my camera on. Once back home I get down to painstakingly editing the samplers and showreels below. Often the people I film live in poor dangerous shanty towns (favelas) with little or no income, other times they live in comfort teaching capoeira in the west. This is your chance to see the cream of capoeira from the comfort of your PC, enjoy! New showreels coming soon!!
