Capoeira, which embraces all of these elements, holds a deep and powerful appeal.
The dance, music, and struggle created by African people who were brought to Brazil as enslaved individuals have been passed down through generations.
Those teachings are still preserved today and practiced in many parts of the world.
Capoeira is an art in which we play music and express ourselves through both body and spirit.
since 2015
Connecting with the world!
We are a Capoeira Angola group based in Kyoto and Osaka, practicing while carefully honoring the teachings of our Mestres and Mestras, as well as our roots in Brazil. As part of an international network, we study and embody this profound cultural tradition through daily practice.
Capoeira is many things at once: a martial art, a musical expression, and a form of wisdom for living. Through regular classes, performances, and workshops, we value not only physical training, but also cultivating respect for ourselves and others, as well as a spirit of care and consideration.
Regardless of age, gender, nationality, or identity, this is a place where everyone can learn in their own way.
In this warm and welcoming community, why not discover a new side of yourself?
