Gingarte Capoeira

Gingarte Capoeira, based in Chicago, IL, has been cultivating communities through the art of Capoeira since 1991 under the guidance of Mestre Marisa. Capoeira, originating from Brazil in the 16th century, is a unique martial art form that blends fight, dance, acrobatics, rhythm, music, and philosophy. The playful yet dynamic game of Capoeira unfolds within a circular arena known as the “roda,” where practitioners engage in a rhythmic conversation through fluid movements.

What sets Capoeira apart is its incorporation of music, with practitioners not only mastering combat techniques but also musical instruments and Portuguese songs. Beyond physical fitness, regular training in Capoeira enhances coordination, strength, flexibility, discipline, and agility, while instilling qualities such as confidence, compassion, and self-respect. Moreover, Capoeira fosters a sense of community and belonging, creating a supportive environment akin to a family.
