About Learn the Fundamentals: For All Levels
You don't need a martial arts background or a dance degree to walk into this class. We focus on getting comfortable with the 'Ginga'—the basic rhythmic sway—and simple partner drills that feel more like a game than a workout. It is about learning to move naturally and having fun with the group before you worry about the advanced flips.
Your First Steps in the Roda
Learning Capoeira isn't about rigid patterns or hitting hard. It is about building a language of movement. When you join our fundamentals batch, we skip the intensity of a fight and focus on the play.
What You Actually Learn
- The Ginga: This is the soul of Capoeira. You will master this constant, rhythmic sway that keeps you ready to move. It is the foundation for every kick and escape we teach.
- Esquivas (Escapes): Instead of blocking, we flow. You will learn how to move your body out of the way, keeping your balance while transitioning into your next movement.
- The Music: Capoeira is incomplete without the berimbau and the singing. We introduce you to the rhythm early on, because it is the heartbeat that guides your game.
Why Join the Fundamentals Batch?
Most of our students come in with zero experience. We have a saying: every expert was once a beginner. Our classes are structured so you can pick up the coordination, strength, and confidence at your own pace. By the time you are comfortable with the basics, you will find yourself naturally sliding into the Roda, feeling the energy—or Axé—that makes this community special. Whether you are looking for a new way to stay fit in Bangalore or a creative outlet in Mumbai, our doors are open to help you find your flow.

Hi, I am Ravi. I have been living and breathing Capoeira since I was 14. For me, teaching the basics isn't about drills; it is about sharing the joy of movement and helping you find your own rhythm in the circle.
