Training Evolution

Ever since Contramestre Zumbi founded the Cordão de Ouro Capoeira Group in Seoul in 2009, he and his students there were constantly sore from training Miudinho sequences. The playful and fluid Capoeira game of Miudinho requires a lot of flexibility and strength. Recovering quickly from muscle fatigue was of paramount importance. Zumbi found that finishing workouts with mindfulness of breathing relaxed the body and led to more rapid recovery. Zumbi also learned that adding the practice of contrast hydrotherapy at the sauna nearby really helped to soothe inflamed joints and sore muscles.

Combining these three practices was the genesis of highly-rated Capoeira Wellness Airbnb Experiences. The six month course doesn't include a hydrotherapy component because of the lack of facilities, but Capoeira Wellness evolved from the original, 2017 half-day retreat concept. Want to try it?
