About Capoeira - Capoeira is an art-form which can be described in many ways. It encompasses Afro-Brazilian culture, art, music, language, and movement into one cohesive whole. The result is at once beautiful yet dangerous, smooth yet powerful. Axé Capoeira Arizona brings its unique and strong philosophy of capoeira to the metropolitan Tucson area. We aim to preserve the original form and purpose of capoeira while exploring the limits of the contemporary evolution and modern applications of capoeira in martial-arts, music, dance, and self exploration.
