Olorum Capoeira™ started in 2008 with 3 students. Taboca, Morena and Meia-Lua. By that time, just one class a week in a church hall, near Enfield Lock Station, London suburbs.
In constant talks with Mestre Deputado and Mestre Leonardo, Mestre Velho José decided to organise the group with a different approach of teaching capoeira.
The system created aim to teach the student the foundation of capoeira, based in all the variations of the art. As the student progress in the system he will be able to develop capoeira in a level to play the game securely with the existent different styles.
The graduation system also will provide the specialisation in Capoeira Regional when the student reaches the level to start to learn it.
The group is represented in Europe by Mestre Velho José and in Brazil by Mestre Leonardo, both sons of Mestre Deputado (one of the disciples of Mestre Bimba).
We run several classes in East London, for all levels, including kids.

Olorum Capoeira™ is a Registered Trade Mark.
