Capoeira courses in Munich

I´m looking for a capoeira course in Munich...can anybody help me?

Thanks!!

As Urban Angel, she might be able to help.

Did you try Google?

For example, this search brings back at least the following:

link1
link2
link3

Of course if you are looking for a personal recommendation that's different, but you didn't say.

Or this at the VHS

Try this page and type capoeira into the search box. It brings back a few places.

What style are you looking for? Regional, Angola or Abada?
Are you a beginner?
When I first got here I just got a list of address from the internet and visited the schools before taking part. I visited Martinho Fiuza "Contemporary Capoeira" and I visited Saguin's school (used to be called Associação Vermehlo 27, part of Mestre Bamba's school in Bahia but now it's called Unicar Capoeira (see Keydeck's Link 2).

A 3rd possibility is the adult evening school offering a short programme (either a weekend intensive, or 1 x weekly session at Arabellapark) - see Katrina's link to the MVHS.

PM me for more info on any of this, or post here and I'll try to reply.
Axé
Jogo de Baixo

Does the Angolan style have an extra unit on integrating your AK-47 into your moves ?

They offer Capoera classes at Elixia as well:
Elixia Leopark
Elixia West

I'd be careful with any gym offering capoeira. Of course, I can't judge as I haven't been to these Elixia courses, but capoeira is not just a physical movement, not just a martial art. It's a way of life and involves philosophy, music, singing, the Portuguese language, traditional instruments, history etc. If any of these aspects are left out, then imho it's disrespectful and not truly 'capoeira'.

Hey, thanks for your replies...what capoeira would you suggest?

Any which is respectful of the whole cultural aspect.


The school I went to was pretty good (Saguin's on Winzererstr). I think I already PMed you with the details.

Do they offer an introduction or do you have to already know some? I find it fascenating, but am not in the best of shape...

Saguin's school will do a free introductory session.
They have separate lessons for beginners and more advances capoeiristas. Their website (see above Link 2) shows when which classes are.
Have fun!

Thanks UA - this just might be the motivation I need!!!

I've made a new Wiki as some new schools have sprung up; this way if anyone notices a new school they can add it to the list: http://www.toytowngermany.com/wiki/Capoeira

They have them at My Fitness Lady on Klenzestr. near the Frauenhofer U-bahn station as well. It is about two minutes from the station.

They have them at several gyms and dance studios, hence the last sentence of the Wiki. Pls feel free to add the specifics.
