Malandragem is much more than a Capoeira training school. They welcome everyone with open arms to join their capoeira family, it doesn’t matter who you are, your personal beliefs, preferences, or ideals. The best part is, they teach and train not for capital gains, but for the love of what they do.
Capoeira Malandragem is a great group to train with. Cool people and good technique.
