I’ve been training with Aranhe for a little over a year now and it’s been an incredible journey so far. Not only is this chronic desk jockey getting in better shape but I’m more flexible and agile at 40 than I’ve ever been and getting better!

So fun! A session here turns a groggy day into a happy one, guaranteed. Everyone, from the instructors to the other students, are just super nice and explain so much (and are oddly geeky??). I think I have done more fist bumps here than in my entire life, and I just started like two months ago. The different aspects of capoeira are super cool. The intimidating part for me was the fitness, but they make sure we do regular water breaks and stretches and don't, like, hurt yourself. The day after the first class, I was so sore I couldn't get out of bed, but since then, I can actually feel muscles now--as they say, it's worth it!

Mestre Aranha's patient approach to training breaks down fundamental movements to be easily understood at any level. Best of all, everyone students and teacher alike are friendly, supportive and patient.To train here is to learn an unconventional martial art with rich history and culture while conditioning your body to ever more feats of agility, endurance and strength.
