Mestres da Capoeira

Mestres da Capoeira are highly skilled and respected practitioners who have mastered both the physical and cultural aspects of capoeira, a Brazilian martial art that combines dance, music, acrobatics, and fighting techniques. They serve as teachers, custodians of tradition, and cultural ambassadors, passing on knowledge, history, and the philosophy behind capoeira to new generations. Their expertise enables them to lead capoeira groups (called "squadras" or "groupes"), preserve its artistic and spiritual roots, and promote its role in cultural identity and community development.
