Who Are We?
Capoeira is a celebration; a cultural ritual melding music, song, dance, and acrobatic martial arts techniques.
The Capoeira Academy is your connection for all things Brazil! Capoeira is the traditional martial art of Brazil, and The Capoeira Academy is an affiliate of the Associação de Capoeira Mestre Bimba in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil – the first and oldest capoeira academy in the world. We have been playing and training in Edmonton since 1998. Drop by anytime; we are open for you to play, train, or just watch!
Book Us for a Show
We are also available to meet your entertainment needs, providing high energy shows including acrobatics, martial arts, live music and drumming, Afro-Brazilian dance, and more. Contact us for more information.
Train With Us
We offer classes in capoeira for all ages led by Mestre Reni, an internationally respected capoeirista who has been training in the art since the age of 5. Come try out one of our classes or contact us if you would like us to come to you for a workshop, demonstration or school presentation!
