Welcome to Filhos De Bimba School of Capoeira, Newcastle

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form which combines martial art, rhythm, sport, music and philosophy to create a unique game between two players. Anyone can join and everyone is welcome!

Capoeira is a fantastic form of physical activity that will improve your fitness, coordination, balance, strength and agility, whatever your level of fitness. At the same time, you can enjoy the social, artistic, musical and cultural elements of Capoeira and even pick up some Portuguese! You can join us at anytime, so for information on how check out our classes page.

Students at Filhos de Bimba learn the basics of Capoeira quickly through Mestre Bimba’s teaching sequence and method, building confidence and skills from the very first lesson. You can learn more about our school at the Filhos de Bimba page.

We’ll introduce you not just to Capoeira, but to Brazilian culture, music, dance forms and language. We hold workshops, performances and cultural events as well as regular classes; you can find out about upcoming activities at our events page.
