Capoeira Guanabara Stockholm

Capoeira Guanabara is a capoeira association in Marieberg, Stockholm, that has been running since 2005 and offers training for adults, young people and children. The activities are divided into three groups: the adult group, the youth group and the children and family group.

The timetable includes classes such as Beginner-friendly capoeira, Children/Family 5–9 years, Children 9–15 years and sessions for All levels – spread across Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. The sessions are led by instructors Fruta Seca, Sansão, Gigante, Máscara, Diva and Lua.

The group uses two halls: Konradsbergshallen near Thorildsplan and Högalidsskolan near Hornstull, and trains barefoot in long trousers in keeping with tradition. What sets the association apart is the combination of serious technical training and a distinctly relaxed sense of community, plus an annual Batizado – a grading ceremony where all groups come together.

Suitable for those who want to learn capoeira from scratch, are looking for an active martial arts environment for the whole family, or simply want to get moving in the company of a dedicated group.
