The science of the art of capoeira

Capoeira Rodas

Capoeira Masters, Teachers and high level players in the Roda. The game of capoeira (jogo de capoeira) is what a capoeirista trains for - this is where capoeira 'takes place'. Unlike other martial arts capoeira is not trained for use as self-defense or martial combat, we practice for the roda and in most schools these take place several times a week with perhaps one or two dedicated soley to the event. Videos speak louder than words so to see just what I mean... check out the fantastic capoeira games below!

Mestre Jose Antonio is the founder of CDO Guaratingueta, a school renowned for producing excellent capoeiristas (think M Poncianinho, CM Casquinha, CM Pepeto etc). It's well worth a visit if you're ever in the Sao Paulo Area.
