It is not a fight, but a playful conversation of movement, music, and community where children and adults alike discover their own flow. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Two students 'play' in the roda, surrounded by their classmates who provide the energy by clapping and singing.

You won't find aggressive sparring here. Instead, you will see students learning to anticipate their partner's movement, singing traditional songs in Portuguese, and practicing the art of the 'ginga' (fundamental sway). It is the most authentic way to see how we build friendship through rhythm and safe physical play. The Roda is the circle where we all meet. It is the heart of every class, where the energy — or Axé — shifts from individual practice to a collective experience. When you step into our classes in Bangalore or Mumbai, you will see that the Roda is less about winning and more about listening. We start by forming a circle, clapping, and singing traditional Portuguese songs. This isn't just decoration; the music sets the pace for the players inside. The berimbau, our signature bow-shaped instrument, dictates whether the game inside should be slow and tactical or fast and acrobatic. Inside the circle, two students engage in a 'game.' They trade movements, dodging kicks and responding with their own flows. Because we teach kids as young as two, we focus on safe, non-contact interaction. It teaches them to be aware of their body and their partner's presence without the pressure of a fight. It is common to see parents joining in, too. We believe that when you share the Roda, you share a piece of Brazilian culture. It is not about perfect form from day one; it is about showing up, finding your rhythm, and letting the community support your growth. Whether you are a total beginner or looking to refine your handstands, the Roda is where you find the people who will become your tribe. ## About Capoeira Academy I’ve been living and breathing Capoeira since I was 14. For me, it’s not just about the kicks or the flips — it’s the conversation you have in the Roda that really matters. I lead our classes with the belief that anyone can find their flow, provided they are ready to have a little fun and make some noise.
