Capoeira Brasil
Grupo Capoeira Brasil was formed on January 14, 1989 in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Under the supervision
of its three founding Mestres, Mestre Boneco, Mestre Paulinho Sabia, and Mestre Paulao Ceara, Grupo Capoeira
Brasil is today one of the most highly recognized groups in the world. Currently, there are greatly respected
and qualified Mestres, Contra Mestres, Professors and Instructors teaching throughout Brasil, other parts
of South America, Asia, Europe, the United States, Africa and Australia.What makes Capoeira Brasil such a
successful group is the close ties of Mestres and Instructors to each other and the group itself.
Each teacher invests his time and energy in supporting others within the group and the Capoeira community in general but teaching workshops, traveling to events, and sending and receiving students to train. Your instructors relationship to the Capoeira world is what helps you as a student develop into a better capoeirista.Through traveling and exchanging with those both inside and outside of their direct community, Capoeira Brasil Mestres, Contra Mestres and teachers are able to remain on the cutting edge of Capoeira’s development. By combining new techniques with the traditional elements and roots of Capoeira, Grupo Capoeira Brasil continues to grow and remains one of the largest groups in the world.
