-
Community & Connection: Capoeira fosters a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere where students support and challenge one another, strengthening bonds within the local and global Capoeira community.
-
Physical & Mental Strength: Training includes fluid acrobatics, strength conditioning, agility drills, and strategic movements that enhance overall fitness, coordination, and mental focus.
-
Musical & Linguistic Skills: Students engage in singing traditional Capoeira songs in Portuguese and learning rhythms, improving language skills and musicality.
Whether you're discovering movement for the first time or looking to challenge yourself physically and mentally, Capoeira de Valor provides an enriching experience that goes beyond the classroom — uniting culture, movement, and community in a powerful and transformative way.
Olá, amigos!
I’m Mestre Paulo Batuta, and I’ve been living and breathing Capoeira since I was a kid in Brazil. Capoeira is more than just movement— it’s a blend of martial arts, music, culture, and pure energy that challenges your body, sharpens your mind, and connects you to an incredible community.
Whether you’re here to get stronger, learn something new, or just have fun, I invite you to step into the roda with us. Let’s kick, dodge, and play together — Capoeira is for everyone! See you in class! Axé!
Your Mestre Paulo Batuta
