html

Ever watched a Capoeira roda and felt the magnetic pull of its rhythm, kicks, and acrobatics? Felt City’s vibrant Capoeira scene is the perfect place to dive into this Afro-Brazilian art form—whether you’re drawn to its martial arts intensity, dance-like fluidity, or rich cultural roots. Here’s your guide to the best schools and classes for beginners.

Why Capoeira?

Capoeira isn’t just a workout—it’s a conversation. Blending kicks, sweeps, and flips with live music (berimbau rhythms set the pace!), it’s as much about strategy and play as it is about fitness. In Felt City, studios emphasize community, making it ideal for those who want to train and connect.

Bonus: Many schools offer live music nights or batizado ceremonies where you’ll see advanced students (and maybe even mestres) in action.
