Min duration 1 h
Cost Low
Environment Indoor / Outdoor

A dazzling Brazilian discipline blending martial arts, acrobatics, and live music into a flowing game — practitioners exchange low sweeps, kicks, and gymnastic feints in a rhythmic dialogue called the jogo.

The Essentials

  • Start with the ginga, the swaying base step — everything else flows from a relaxed ginga rhythm.
  • Warm up your wrists and shoulders well; handstands and cartwheels are common even for beginners.
  • Play inside the roda (circle) slowly at first, watching your partner's hips rather than their hands.
  • Never make full contact — capoeira is a conversation of near misses, not a fight.
  • Learn a few berimbau rhythms; the music tells you how fast and aggressive the game should be.
  • Wear loose clothing and go barefoot or use light shoes for grip and flexibility.
