What is Capoeira?

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art consisting of music, movement, and rhythm.

Capoeira is a constant flow of movement as players explore creative interactions that range from dance to fight, while non-playing participants still play through music. Players learn new instruments and sing songs in Brazilian/Portuguese.

It is a dance-like fight, A fight-like dance, A song, A way of life.

Capoeira in Truckee is canceled for the winter. Thank you everyone that attended, we hope that we can restart a class there soon. A special thanks to Stephanie and David of Elevation Fitness for making the a great capoeira environment in Truckee possible. If you see them, be sure to thank them, as we would like to return to the space down the road.

Check the calendar for locations and directions. We are trying to start a club at UNR. We need to get 10 people signed up to get the club registered. If you are a UNR student and are interested please send an email.

Wednesday at the River

I will be playing or practicing Capoeira at the river Wednesday if anyone would like to join me.  I will be showing my little brother some basics, and have my berimbau and boomer handy.  The time we are meeting depends on what time Fortaleza gets off of work and such, it is looking like it may be in the evening around 6pm.

Thursday in Tahoe

I will be heading down to Tahoe around 9-9:30 am Thursday morning.  I know it is early, but the class starts around 11am.  I plan to be leaving a little bit after the class finishes, so if anyone has to be home for work. or dates, or blah blah, that is cool.  I can fit one more person in my car, so would be happy to try and fit another person if possible,.

Get Capoeira stuff from Virtual Capoeira

You may have noticed the Virtual Capoeira ad on the right hand site of the site.  We have now partnered with them so now we have another resource for getting various Capoeira gear and such.   Anything you buy using that link will help us out.  I'm still working out details and such but I will put out more info about the deals as I get them.

Thursday in Tahoe

Alright, so there is an attempt at a beach party this Thursday, and Milho Verde asked me to fill up my car, so I was wondering if anyone would like to leave Tahoe from say around 2pm.  My car can comfortably fit one other person, and at total of four people, with minor discomfort, but it is only an hour drive.  If you can make it call me (225-4362), or post on this topic.  Those who call get priority.
