Student FAQs

 

What time are your classes? Do I need to book a place for the class?

Please view our class timetable. You don't have to book a space in the class, just turn up.

How much does the class cost?

The classes vary from £5.00 to £6.00 depending on the venue and whether you apply for concessions.

Can I watch a class?

Yes, You are more than welcome to go to any of our classes to see if you will like it or not.

I've never done any martial arts or gymnastics. Can I do capoeira?

Capoeira is for all types of people. Everybody brings in different skills and backgrounds, but you don't need to be in great shape to try capoeira and you don't need any particular skills. Capoeira is for everyone.

Am I too old / young to play capoeira?

No. We teach classes for both children and adults.

Do I have to bring any special shoes or clothes?

You can train simply with a t-shirt, loose sport trousers and trainers. Some students play capoeira bare foot (it is totally up to you). We have uniforms available for purchase too.

What else should I bring along to a class?

We highly recommend bringing a bottle of water and a towel. Capoeira can be hard work and you need to replace fluids.

I have a past injury. Can I still practice Capoeira?

Please inform the instructor of any injuries you may have so that they can help you to overcome any difficulties and to ensure that you do not injure yourself any further.
