We have been running since 1994 under the guidance of Mestre Gato, one of the founding members of the Grupo Senzala organisation - one of the biggest and well respected groups in Brazil. We currently lead classes in Newcastle upon Tyne and Durham with Professor Tazmania and Instructor Caranguejo.
Capoeira is a Brazilian art form that combines elements of Martial Arts, Dance, Game, Music and Acrobatics. It is one of the fastest growing sports world-wide and will help you to not only improve your fitness but also your balance, strength, agility, flexibility and co-ordination.
Capoeira is a FUN, SOCIAL and CULTURAL sport where EVERYONE is welcome!

Instructor Caranguejo will be starting a new class on Sunday 13th June at Jupiter Health Club in Easington, County Durham.
Classes start at 10am - 11.30am and cost £5.00

Some photos from the 2009 "20 Years of Taz" Batizado have been added to the Media section. We will hopefully be adding more soon as well...
Our classes are open to everyone! - whether you are a complete beginner or have been playing Capoeira for years. Capoeira is an activity for the masses, not for the few!
We teach all aspects and styles of Capoeira in a fun and healthy environment. You will not only learn the movements of Capoeira but also the Music, Language and Culture of Brazil.
