Who Are We? / Why People Join ACM Capoeira
Looking for something real?
At ACM Capoeira, you don’t just train — you become part of a community.
ACM Capoeira is a community capoeira group that has been providing regular classes, workshops and performances since 20××. We are dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich traditions, history and culture of Afro-Brazilian capoeira in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
Our capoeira lineage is rooted in the teachings of Mestre Celso and Contra-Mestre Bicudo, whose knowledge and guidance have played an important role in shaping our group. Today, we continue our development under the guidance of Mestre Cláudio Campos of Bristol Capoeira, while honouring the lineage and traditions that form the foundation of our practice.
