WHAT IS CAPOEIRA?
“To say that Capoeira is just another martial art would be
incorrect, because Capoeira is much more than just a martial art.
Capoeira is art, it is culture, it is history, and it is dance and
music. A true visual feast, watching Capoeira can evoke feelings of
sheer exhilaration. It is an experience that must be seen (and
heard), to be truly appreciated and understood.  For those who
might ask, 'what about the martial aspects of Capoeira?' - it is
probably one of the most exotic and unique martial arts in
existence!"

ABOUT CAPOEIRA ACHÉ BRASIL ACADEMY
Under Mestre Eclilson de Jesus, Capoeira Aché Brasil has been at
the forefront of Capoeira instruction in Vancouver since
1990. 
At our capoeira group, it is crucial that a prospective
instructor has the ability to teach and excellent social
skills.  Technical expertise alone does not make a good
teacher.  A good instructor has to be mature and has to create
a positive environment for the student to learn, establishing a
positive student-teacher relationship.
Our group emphasizes positive energy, while improving one’s
health and well being.  Community, and personal growth is an
important aspect of our group.
