I AM READY TO START MY CAPOEIRA JOURNEY!
LIVE LONGER, LIVE BETTER!
You should try Capoeira!
Martial arts, physical exercise, music, and dance are more than activities—they are expressions of the human spirit. They unite the body, mind, and soul, awakening strength, creativity, discipline, and joy. In a world that often divides and isolates, these practices bring people together, heal the spirit, and remind us of our deepest humanity. Through movement, rhythm, and expression, we reconnect with ourselves, with others, and with the powerful truth of what it means to be truly alive.
Discover the Art of Resistance
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form that blends martial arts, dance, music, acrobatics, and self-expression into a dynamic and fluid practice. Developed by enslaved Africans in Brazil as a form of resistance and cultural preservation, Capoeira is practiced through rhythmic movement, strategic interaction, and live music played in a circle known as a Roda. More than a physical discipline, Capoeira promotes strength, creativity, resilience, community, and freedom, making it both a powerful cultural tradition and a unique path for personal growth.
Capoeira Luanda
Is a global capoeira organization dedicated to preserving and teaching Capoeira as both a martial art and a rich cultural tradition rooted in Afro-Brazilian heritage. Founded in 2007 under the guidance of Mestre Jelon Vieira, it follows the style of Capoeira Regional Contemporânea, blending fluid movement, acrobatics, strategy, and traditional music into a dynamic and expressive practice.
The name “Luanda” honors the city of Luanda in Angola, recognizing the
African ancestral roots that helped shape Capoeira’s history and identity.
At its core, Capoeira Luanda emphasizes community building, self-defense, physical fitness, and historical education, fostering personal growth and cultural awareness. With academies across the United States, Australia, Brazil, and Europe, it has developed a strong international presence while remaining grounded in tradition.

Graduation System
The graduation system in Capoeira is a structured way of recognizing a practitioner’s progress in skill, knowledge, and understanding of the art.
In most modern capoeira groups, advancement is marked by colored cords (often worn around the waist). Each cord represents a different level of development—from beginner stages focused on basic movements and rhythm, to advanced levels that demonstrate technical mastery, musical ability, teaching responsibility, and deeper understanding of capoeira’s cultural and historical roots.
Progress is not based only on physical ability. It also includes learning traditional instruments, singing, Portuguese terminology, roda etiquette, and the philosophy behind capoeira. In many schools, graduation ceremonies are important community events where students are “corded” in front of their group, symbolizing both achievement and responsibility to continue the tradition.
