Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian cultural & martial art that was developed in Brazil by enslaved Africans who had to disguise their culture. A beautiful combination of self-defense, acrobatics, music, dance, and rich culture. Capoeira helps improve strength, flexibility, speed, and balance while also learning to play traditional instruments, and speak & sing in Portuguese. Ben and Rotem Hornedo are senior Capoeira instructors with over 40 years of experience combined. Together they founded the Alma do Jogo Capoeira School, the first democratic Capoeira organization to continue and spread the love for this beautiful art.
