Overview

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that is an expression of sports, acrobatics, fighting, and culture. Capoeira teaches important self-defense maneuvers and improves your acrobatic capabilities, while also implementing elements of dance and musical appreciation. UCT Capoeira aims to bring this cultural experience to the University of Cape Town. Led by our renowned instructors, we hope to offer a new cultural Experience .
