    100 % recommendable!

    Unique experience. I had no idea that Capoeira had so many beautiful facets. Omri explained everything very well and after some practice I was able to join the rest of his group in singing and dancing for an even more authentic experience. 100% recommendable!

    Excellent experience in Rio. A great way to experience Brazilian culture. The group and the instructor are very welcoming and provide the best introduction to capoeira, also in English.

    We had a wonderful time joining class. After an hour, we learned basic moves that we could apply to a play game of capoeira. There was also music and singing involved. Thank you for letting us see a part of your culture!

    Really fun class for all fitness levels, it was easy to learn and try it out and fun to see the experts at the end and where you can really take the movements. We especially enjoyed the integration of musical instruments to bring the dance alive
    Just do it!

    Thank you, Mark! ❤️
    Amazing experience !!!! A must do in Rio!
    Tony_S, Jan 2023
    This is simply a must do if you’re visiting Rio. There is nothing like taking a capoeira class in Brazil. It is so welcoming and uplifting. It is a workout so it’s good to wear comfortable clothes, but the energy is something I will never forget. The instructor is amazing, and takes time to really show you how it’s done. And he took videos of the experience so we didn’t have to. Not to mention, they do so much goodwill in Rio. 10/10!!

    What an awesome end to our trip. We were able to participate in class as well as get some insight on an awesome social initiative that is supported through capoeira. We had a great time and Omri and the other fighters made us feel very welcomed and comfortable trying out this martial art form! A must do if visiting Rio!!

    While on vacation in Rio, I wanted to have some authentic cultural experiences and Capoeira class was a great choice. Ferradura was a gracious host. I attended a group class and left the session feeling like part of the family.

    Thank you so much, José!
    Eine tolle Erfahrung
    Katharina_S, Oct 2022
    Der Unterricht war super! Wir haben die Basic Steps in Caipoeira gelernt und direkt angewendet in einer Gruppe aus Anfängern und fortgeschrittenen Locals, da das Willkommenheißen anderer Kulturen zum Tanz und Brasilien gehört. Typisch mit eigener Musik mit Instrumenten gespielt im Kreis, in dem sich die Tänzer abwechseln. Eine tolle Erfahrung!
