About

What can we say?

We are a School of Capoeira in London-UK, lead by Mestre Velho Jose, a Mestre Charangueiro of Capoeira Regional that gained a vast knowledge of the art since a young age. We have several classes during the week in East London, for all levels, including kids.

Our Amazing Team

We have a great team of people who support the school in various ways, but some of them already reached levels to effectively teach, either supporting our classes or running their own.
