Another unique and edifying option is classes in Capoeira, a cultural art-form developed by Brazilian slaves with African heritage in the early 16th century and organized in the early 20th century as a martial art, with teaching systems and more modern hierarchy - With the worldwide development of capoeira, and the many different groups formed, it is not uncommon to find different practices, graduations and customs. Apart from that, capoeira has regionalisms too, the capoeira from Rio de Janeiro being partially different from the capoeira from Bahia.

To learn from the original capoeira masters of the suburbs of Rio, a wise choice would be Grupo Saravá Capoeira under the supervision of Mestre Ninho (Felipe Costa), who teaches classes in many neighborhoods of Rio from copacabana to Japeri - He can be directly contacted in portuguese through the number +55(21)99108-8845 on whatsapp and telephone.
