About us
At Capoeira Club Croydon, we’re more than just a martial arts school—we’re a vibrant community dedicated to the rhythm, movement, and spirit of Capoeira. Rooted in rich Afro-Brazilian heritage, Capoeira is a captivating blend of martial arts, dance, and music that we’re passionate about sharing with people from all walks of life.

A Rich Legacy
As part of the broader Capoeira network, we are proudly connected to the legacy of Master Hiram Ribeiro, the visionary who founded Capoeira Club London in 2012. This affiliation enriches our teachings, providing our members with an authentic connection to Capoeira's deep cultural roots and its ongoing evolution. Our students gain more than just skills—they tap into a living tradition that spans continents and generations.
