Capoeira Arte is an Capoeira School dedicated to the promotion of genuine Brazilian martial art as a tool for education, culture, and social inclusion.
Founded on 29 April 2000, Capoeira Arte aims to support the physical, emotional, and social development of children, young people, and adults through the practice of capoeira.
Over the years, our methodology has contributed to the development of confident and responsible individuals by promoting values such as respect, discipline, cooperation, and cultural awareness.
We believe in capoeira as an art form that educates, connects, and transforms lives by combining movement, music, history, and cultural expression within a safe and inclusive environment.

Antonio Silva | In Memory
Master / Mestre Mudinho
Antonio Silva, known in the world of Capoeira as Mestre Mudinho (R.J), leaves behind a profound and lasting legacy in Capoeira — especially for all of us at Capoeira Arte.
Your name will always be remembered with honour, respect, and deep gratitude.
Thank you, MESTRE.
As I have always said, you truly created your own history within Capoeira.
To me personally (M. Gambá), you were far more than a mentor — you were family, a true friend, and an extraordinary human being whose warmth and wisdom shaped the lives of all who knew you.
Eternal gratitude.
May you watch over us from above and continue to guide us with your spirit.
