Dependable Instruction

Classes are led by Contramestre Zumbi. Contramestre is the penultimate rank of leadership in the Capoeira community. Before achieving the title, Zumbi taught Capoeira around the world for over 20 years with lower ranks (like "professor" or "instrutor"). For Zumbi, consistently and ritualistically training Capoeira and observing its traditions provide the ultimate physical foundation for cultivating serenity.

Presently, Zumbi incorporates the Theravada Buddhist traditions that he learned at various forest monasteries in Burma, Thailand, and Korea into his daily Capoeira Wellness practice. Join him. He's learned that there are much higher levels of serenity accessible through the practice of Ānāpānasati ("mindfulness of breathing"). Are you interested in the voyage to higher levels of serenity and physical wellbeing? Let's get healthier and happier together.
