Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines kicks, acrobatics, swaying rhythms and music. This class welcomes both beginners and experienced practitioners, and the trainer adapts exercises to each person's age and level.
Training covers everything from fighting techniques and acrobatics to the culture surrounding capoeira. Song and music are an important part of the class, and many students stay behind afterwards to practise more. It is a sweaty, fun session with a strong sense of community.
The class is led by Mestra Vida, described by the organisers as the first female master in Northern Europe. Mestra Vida also teaches other capoeira classes in Ørestad and Amagerbro in the coming days, so there are more chances to train with her.
