Afro-Brazilian Martial Arts and Fitness

Afro Brazilian Martial Arts and Fitness is the first program to promote, teach, and explore the art and culture of Afro Brazilian Capoeira. Since the beginning of the millennium, our art has been exposed to countless cultural events across the Jersey coast as well as appearances on local and national television. The art once displayed and hidden as a dance 500 years ago during the Colonial slavery era in Brazil, it has become popular in movies and across the globe as not only a dynamic art but also effective resource in MMA competitions. Capoeira is a fun and intense workout known to burn over 1500 calories in one session. We also explore other cultural dances such as the Fisherman Dance (Puxada de Dede) Samba and African stick dance (Maculêlê and Dança das Bastões). Come and see why the art of Capoeira is the most intense, fun, and gratifying workout on the planet.
