Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your first class.

What is Capoeira?

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that blends fighting, movement, acrobatics, and live music into one flowing game, played in a circle called a roda. Classes are open to all ages and skill levels.

Do I need experience or to be in good shape to start?

No. Classes are for people of all ages and skill levels, and instructors work with beginners individually. You don't need flexibility, prior martial arts experience, or to be in shape to try your first class — you start exactly where you are.

What age can kids start?

Tiny Cubs (ages 2–4) is our toddler intro class, Capoeira Cubs is for ages 5–13, and Kids BJJ is for ages 5–12. See the Classes page for the full breakdown by program.

Do you offer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, striking, or self-defense — not just Capoeira?

Yes. Alongside Capoeira, we offer Kids BJJ, a Self-Defense course, Striking classes, and Jaguar Athletics fitness conditioning. See the Classes page for details on each.

How much does the trial cost, and how do I book it?

The trial class is $10. You can claim it directly from the Schedule page — pick an available class time and pay online.

What should I wear to class?

Comfortable athletic clothing you can move in. Most students train barefoot on the mats.

Do I need to bring anything to my first class?

No special gear needed for the trial — just comfortable clothes and water. If you continue past the trial, you'll be asked to complete a liability waiver, which you can fill out online ahead of time from the Contact page.

Are there contracts?

No long-term contract. The trial and drop-in classes are one-time, no-commitment options. Ongoing class packages are billed on autodraft and require 30 days’ notice to cancel.

Is Capoeira good for self-defense?

Capoeira's kicks, evasive movement, and body awareness carry over well to self-defense. If practical self-defense is your main goal, our dedicated Self-Defense course focuses specifically on that.
