About Sinhá Capoeira

We believe that Capoeira is a platform of freedom and expression.  Therefore we always try to evolve Capoeira in its plenitude.  Also without focusing our work in radically changing our own style and having Capoeira Regional as our main reference, we are constantly trying to keep up with its daily evolution.

We train Capoeira as a social form to keep its valuable culture of Brazil and expressive image strongly present.   We focus on learning the martial art, music, acrobatics, artistic aspects just like those who practice Capoeira around the  world.

Capoeira is not just known for being a healthy activity or a form of physical exercise, but also for teaching and having a mental and spiritual benefit; being that Capoeira teaches its students the elements needed for one search his or hers own freedom, and if allowed by the students over its body and soul.

We base our work in the deep mentality of ‘Preservation’ while seeking a vision of one day being like Capoeira, without illusion, with our pleasures and obstacles that are to overcome; we search for a physical and mental evolution.

About Our Capoeira Classes In Boston

Capoeira is an explosive high intensity workout, where you will learn to move with power and grace, have fun, and get into amazing shape fast. This unique class is designed to work the entire body; consisting of strength moves that emphasizes coordination, balance, and flexibility.   It is a high endurance workout with intervals of various intensities that will challenge you.  Capoeira is sometimes referred to as “Flashdance” workout as it will not only get you “fighting fit” but you will have a great time doing it.

Classes are based on traditional sequences and modern progression, which we practice while listening to traditional, sensational, and energetic Capoeira music (featuring berimbau, atabaque and pandeiro).  Each class begins with movement games to warm-up, where specific exercises prepare one for training.  During class there is partner and line-work, where the moves flow from one position to another and also where techniques are developed.  We finish class with traditional ‘Capoeira roda’, displaying intuitive movements, building confidence and practice playing Capoeira music.

Capoeira with Mestre Chuvisquinho is fun, truly a physical challenge and an effective fitness class experience.  This unique class combines the Brazilian art of Capoeira with fitness science to deliver an unbelievable full body workout; where the elegance of dance, the power of martial arts and the rhythms and Brazilian music is displayed. You will love it!

What Our Parents Have To Say

“Sinha is a safe environment to learn. In a world where performance is valued over pretty much everything else, our family is grateful to participate in a community that focuses on growth and development. Classes do push comfort and boundaries, and at the same time celebrates for each bit of progress on the journey of each child. My two kids are different from each other, and from every other kid in the class. I can see each child is given their own space to learn and explore. My kids are exposed to challenging physical movement, singing in Portuguese, doing performances, the importance of ritual, and they see the effect of hard work and dedication. Most importantly, they are surrounded by a group of extraordinary people who are talented, exemplify leadership, are excellent role models, and who care about them. My kids are shown almost daily that they have all the strength they need. I have been training with Mestre for 10 years. While it is my dream to train together with my kids as they get older, they may have different ideas. But if they learn nothing else other than that they are accepted for who they are by our community I will consider this venture a success.”

"Capoeira has quickly become an important part of our family. Capoeira music plays as we get ready for dinner, new routines learned or insights gained from my experience in the adult class are shared over breakfast while the kids' achievements and challenges often get talked about over dinner. We have started learning Portuguese from Duo Lingo and find ourselves singing songs we have learned on our way to school. Friends come over and the kids pull them into a roda in the middle of the living room. As a family, there has been a marked increase in our collective joy, curiosity, and connection. We are all learning to be brave in the face of discomfort (being a beginner isn't always easy!). We are learning how to strive and how to care for others who strive. And we feel a sense of family with the larger Sinha community. Sinha Capoeira is a gift and we are so grateful to be on this learning journey together."

“As a parent of three energetic kids, I want to share my heartfelt recommendation for our amazing Sinha Capoeira school. At Sinha Capoeira our children have discovered a passion that goes beyond exercise. They've improved their body awareness, coordination, and flexibility. Each class fills them with energy and excitement, leaving them eager to practice at home. What makes Sinha Capoeira special is the exceptional team of dedicated instructors, led by Mestre Chuvisquinho, who bring their expertise and passion to every class. Together they create a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone feels like family. Sinha Capoeira is a true community that fosters personal growth, discipline, and a deep sense of belonging. Furthermore, our boys are thrilled with the additional optional private lessons, where they learn self-defense techniques that blend seamlessly with the artistry of Capoeira. Witnessing their confidence grow and knowing they have valuable skills brings us peace of mind. We are truly grateful for the experience our family has had at our Capoeira school, and we wholeheartedly enjoy every moment of it. We look forward to continuing this incredible journey for years to come, embracing the passion, friendships, and personal development that Capoeira brings to our life.”
