About
LearnCapoeira.com launched in March of 2008 with the goal to take capoeira to the masses. We’re passionate about capoeira and aim to have our passion show in our site and services. Share with us in the most exciting art form of this century–Capoeira.
Our Mission
Like the Capoeira song says, “Sou aluno que aprende, e mestre que da lição.” We are all students and teachers as we work together to improve our games. Capoeira is evolving, the history is getting richer, the movements more innovative and the strategy more complicated. We want you to help us build an ever expanding documentary of contemporary Capoeira. At LearnCapoeira.com, you can learn the art of Capoeira through professional instructional videos produced by a team with decades of Capoeira teaching experience. You can also upload your own videos and view other videos from Capoeiristas worldwide.
Why LearnCapoeira.com? Despite the historical growth Capoeira is experiencing, let’s be honest, there still isn’t enough Capoeira to go around! We hear from small groups everyday who are looking for more insight and help in their training, and enthusiasts from cities all over the globe who would like to train Capoeira but don’t have a school in their area. Experienced Capoeristas know there is so much to master in the art of Capoeira that they look to expensive travel and sparse web resources for help with instruments, tough acrobatics, or new strategies and techniques that differ from their group’s movement style. New instructors with little training find themselves teaching only because they are the most experienced in their area, and others want to learn new ways of teaching with fresh ideas and perspective.
Well, we’re listening. LearnCapoeira.com is facilitating the desire of Capoeiristas all over the globe to have quality Capoeira instruction available to them when they want, where they live, and without limitation. LearnCapoeira.com is the result of careful listening to the questions and common frustrations of thousands of Capoeira students. It is a practical alternative to expensive event travel, helping you pick up new techniques and strategies from your own home, on your own timeframe, for a fraction of the cost. After dozens of years of teaching Capoeira, we recognize what Capoeiristas need to take their game to a new level, and the LearnCapoeira.com team is thrilled to provide a global solution, via the internet, to help Capoeira enthusiasts worldwide get there.
