Welcome to com Expressão

com Expressão looks to educate through capoeira, not only physically but mentally as well. We promote awareness and understanding of our bodies and their surroundings, both in capoeira and everyday life.

What is Capoeira?

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art. It is a rhythm-based form of combat with deep-seeded roots in African cultures. Music is an integral part of its practice and its movements of attack and defense are dance-like in execution. It is a 500-year-old method of survival that was created in secret as a weapon of the oppressed against the oppressor.

Through dedication and rigorous training, self-discovery is achieved as Capoeira increases strength, flexibility and endurance. Over time, the words “limitation” and “I can’t” begin to fade from the student’s way of thinking regardless of their age, sex or prior athletic experience.
