Supplement Your Capoeira Training Classes with LearnCapoeira.com Video Instruction

It's Called Capoeira

Capoeira is one of the fastest growing cultural art forms in the world, and as far as we're concerned, by far the most exciting. It is a physically and mentally challenging game of trickery and strategy, an energetic culture of music and dance, an intense aerobic and strength-building workout, and author of some of the most spectacular acrobatics in the world, complete with high-flying flips, airborne spinning kicks, intricate ground movements, and more. Its contagious rhythm and visual brilliance continue to be showcased in Hollywood movies, music videos, TV commercials, and video games, accelerating a global momentum that already has new Capoeira training classes and schools popping up in more and more cities every month. Capoeira's global community is exploding largely because it is so much fun to learn and so rewarding to train! Capoeira training has something for everyone: dance, acrobatics, music, martial arts, and unparalleled social unity that transcends language and race to bring Capoeiristas together to play, because as every Capoeirista knows, if you do Capoeira, you're family.

Despite the historical growth Capoeira is experiencing, let's be honest, there still isn't enough Capoeira to go around! We hear from small groups everyday who are looking for more insight and help in their capoeira training, and enthusiasts from cities all over the globe who would like to train Capoeira but don't have a school in their area.

Beginners:

• Learn from a Mestrando.
  Living outside Brazil, you're often lucky to have Capoeira classes or a school in your area, let alone learn from a master. Mestrando Jamaika is world renown for his abilities to play and teach Capoeira, and now you can learn from his experience anytime you want to practice capoeira training. Talk about on-demand.
• Train at your own pace.
  Whether you like to learn step-by-step or just jump right in, you get to control the curriculum and pace as you choose basic to advanced capoeira moves that you can review and repeat as often as you'd like! Listen to in-depth techniques time and again to isolate each part of the movement, or dive into strategies, variations, and helpful hints to help you understand the principles and application of each capoeira move.
• Ask questions to the entire LearnCapoeira.com community.
  Traditional comments or video questions, the choice is yours. The result? You get specific answers to your individual questions. If you're having trouble with capoeira moves, a technique or strategy, post a comment or upload a video of yourself to get advice from other players helping you figure out exactly how to improve.
• Experience the axé.
  Don't just learn Capoeira, experience Capoeira's unique energy as you interact with other Capoeiristas sharing tips and tricks, uploading your videos, asking questions, and getting answers. Then learn the culture of Capoeira as you discuss roda etiquette, learn to play the instruments, and enjoy the latest in contemporary Capoeira music while watching players from across the globe involved in capoeira training and performing the capoeira moves. Become part of the Capoeira revolution as you join the global Capoeira family.

Intermediate and Advanced Players:

• Supplement your current capoeira training. We know you train hard at your academy, but as experienced Capoeiristas, we also know how much there is to learn in Capoeira: music, acrobatics, roda etiquette and tradition, strategy, takedowns, counters, the list goes on and on. Now you have a new resource to get a well-rounded capoeira training experience on your own terms and schedule.
• Figure out the tough acrobatics. Every Capoeirista has a list of floreios they've seen on a video or at an event they'd love to do but just can't seem to figure out. Well, we've got you covered. If you've been lucky enough to see Mestrando Jamaika play first hand, you know you'd be hard pressed to find an acrobatic capoeira movement he can't do on both sides, let alone do extremely well. Check back often as we add new floreios to the mix, from airborne flips and tricks, to barrel rolls, hand and head parada variations, and intricate ground movements and sequences. Then if you still want to see more capoeira moves, contact us to give us your feedback on acrobatics you'd like to learn in videos to come.
• Pick up new capoeira moves and strategies without having to buy plane tickets. Every Capoeirista who has traveled to an event knows how valuable it is to take capoeira classes from a new mestre or instructor. Getting a different perspective on capoeira training can take your game to a whole new level. At LearnCapoeira.com, we've spent hours pouring over event footage to provide clips of players from all over the world performing the capoeira moves taught to help you identify stylistic differences and nuances for each move. In addition to basic capoeira movement videos, we'll continue to add new sequences and strategies to help you develop your game and soon introduce seminars taught by guest instructors at events from all over, giving you the diversity of instruction you need to really make your game improve.
• Interact, share ideas, and contribute your wisdom to the conversation. Take advantage of text and video comments under each video to share tips or upload your own videos of relevant sequences, variations, and strategies that apply to each move. For example, "Here is my favorite way to get into vingativa" or "This is a really sneaky way to use chibata as a counter" Share your insight, and benefit from the experience of others.

Instructors:

• Get a fresh perspective. Discover ways to teach capoeira movements from alternate positions and with different applications. Learn new sequences to use in capoeira classes and identify the principles behind the techniques to help your students understand the philosophy of each capoeira move. Then learn additional strategies, techniques, and new ways to apply movements you're already familiar with to use to your advantage in your own capoeira training.
• Master the music and extras. From instruments and song lyrics to samba and maculelê, get ready to master and easily learn to teach all the musical and cultural extras that make Capoeira unique as we introduce new videos throughout the year.
