About us
At Capoeira Club Croydon, we’re not just a martial arts school—we’re a thriving community that embraces the rhythm, movement, and spirit of Capoeira. Deeply rooted in Afro-Brazilian traditions, our club combines martial arts, dance, music, and culture to create an exhilarating and enriching experience for everyone.
Our mission is to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment where individuals of all ages and skill levels can explore the art of Capoeira. Whether you’re taking your first steps or are a seasoned practitioner, our classes are designed to help you build strength, boost confidence, and connect deeply with this extraordinary art form.
We are honored to be part of the broader Capoeira network, preserving the legacy of Master Hiram Ribeiro, who founded Capoeira Club London in 2012. Through this connection, our students gain authentic insights into Capoeira’s rich history, evolving techniques, and cultural significance.
At Capoeira Club Croydon, you’re not just learning a martial art—you’re joining a global family. Our classes seamlessly combine physical training, creativity, and self-expression, all within a supportive and inspiring community that empowers you to grow and thrive.
