Welcome to our Atlanta Capoeira School
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines music, dance, acrobatics, and self-defense. The attack and defense movements are very rhythmic due to its African roots. Music and song accompanied by percussion is an inherent part of Capoeira, and an integral part of what we teach here at Filhos de Bimba Atlanta. Our school preserves the cultural legacy of Mestre Bimba and the essence of Capoeira Regional including its effective methodology of teaching, character building principles, rich traditions and rituals. We welcome students from all backgrounds regardless of age, gender, nationality or athletic experience. We help students build self-confidence by providing the proper tools to enhance strength, flexibility and endurance. Our Atlanta Capoeira school is located on the westside in the historic Vine city, walking distance from Ashby Marta. We invite you to visit, watch, try and enjoy Capoeira!
VIRTUAL CLASSES ARE AVAILABLE!!
About Filhos de Bimba - Escola de Capoeira
Filhos de Bimba – Escola de Capoeira was founded on June 10, 1986 by Manoel Nascimento Machado (Mestre Nenel), the son of Mestre Bimba, the creator of Capoeira Regional, and the most influential master of Capoeira. The focus of our school is to educate, train, study, promote and help preserve the traditions and principles of Capoeira Regional and its roots in Afro-Bahian culture. Much is said today about progress and evolution, but the traditions and preservation of history is often forgotten. Learning about our past, our roots, and our ancestors provide us with ways to express ourselves in the present so that we can better shape our future. Over the years, Filhos de Bimba has expanded across the globe with various schools in Brazilian cities (Limeira SP, Ribeirão Preto SP, São José do Rio Preto, SP, MG Barbacena., Belo Horizonte MG and Jaragua do Sul SC) and to other countries such as England, Belgium, Italy, Canada, Croatia, Germany and Lebanon. The year 2022 marked the 36th anniversary of Filhos de Bimba – Escola de Capoeira. In that same year on July 5, Atlanta, GA joins Detroit, MI, Fort Worth, TX and Bay Area, CA, in the FdB United States, satellite schools!
