Do I need to be in shape to start?

No. Capoeira will get you in shape. Our classes are designed so you can start at any fitness level and progress at your own pace.

What if I have an old injury or physical limitation?

Let your instructor know before class. Most movements can be adapted. Capoeira is about improving your movement abilities.

How often should I come to class?

We recommend 2-3x per week to build momentum, but even once a week will show progress. Consistency matters more than intensity.

Is there sparring or contact?

The "roda" (game) involves playing with the movements you learned. Contact is light. Especially for beginners.

Can I learn acrobatic movements like macacos and aerials even as a beginner?

Absolutely. We teach these progressively. You'll start with foundational movements and build toward the flashier skills over time. Many students learn basic acrobatics in the first few classes.
