Capoeira Classes for Beginners in Bengaluru and Mumbai
Start your Capoeira journey here. You don't need any martial arts background to join—just bring your energy and get ready to move, laugh, and connect in a supportive group setting.
This is where it all begins. A group of beginners learns the basic Ginga stance, the foundation of all Capoeira movement. We make sure everyone feels comfortable and confident.
We break down every movement step by step. Here, the class practices a low defensive position, building strength and flexibility in a coordinated group drill.
The whole class moving in unison, practicing the Ginga. This continuous, flowing movement is the rhythm that connects all the kicks, dodges, and acrobatic elements of Capoeira.
Our evening beginner's class in full swing. We create a welcoming atmosphere where you can learn at your own pace, surrounded by fellow learners.
Our instructor leads the class with a berimbau, the primary instrument in Capoeira. The music guides the pace and rhythm of the training, making it an immersive cultural experience.
Partner drills are a great way to learn interaction. Here, students practice simple sequences of movement and evasion, building coordination and trust.

About this collection
You might think you need to be a gymnast or a martial artist to start, but that is not the case. My beginner sessions focus on the Ginga—the swinging step that anchors everything—and simple animal walks that get everyone laughing. We prioritize rhythm and interaction over physical intensity, so you can learn at your own pace alongside other newcomers.
Capoeira is often mistaken for a high-intensity combat sport, but for us, it is a game of movement and social connection. When you join, we do not just throw you into a routine; we break down the basics so you feel confident from day one. You will learn to move with the music, listen to the berimbau, and eventually, step into the Roda, which is the circle where we all play together. It is an Afro-Brazilian cultural experience, not just a workout.
Whether you join us at our studio in Indiranagar, Bengaluru, or our sessions in Mumbai, you get the same welcoming environment. We keep the groups manageable so that I can guide you through the flow, ensuring your technique is safe and grounded. Many students start because they are bored of the gym and stay because they have found a community. We focus on mobility exercises to help with flexibility, coordination drills to build your confidence, and traditional songs to get you comfortable with the culture. If you have been looking for a way to break up your routine, meet new people, and learn something completely different, this is where it starts.
Capoeira Academy
I have been living and breathing Capoeira since I was 14, and I honestly believe it is for everyone. My classes are not about being the strongest or the fastest, but about finding your own flow, having a good laugh during warm-ups, and building a community where you feel right at home.
