About Us

Grupo Axé Capoeira Kansas City

Axé Capoeira Kansas City opened its metaphorical doors in 1998 and holds the distinction of being the first chapter of Grupo Axé Capoeira in the United States. The first Capoeira classes were hosted outdoors on the historic steps of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Now after all these years, Axé Capoeira Kansas City has expanded to become the best Capoeira school in Kansas City. Not only teaching the beautiful Martial Art of Capoeira, Grupo Axé Capoeira Kansas City immerses their students in the": Language, music, traditions and culture that Capoeira has to offer. You can find us sharing Capoeira, along with live music and dance from Brasil, when we hit the stages of: Ethnic festivals, First Fridays, holiday events, school cultural celebrations and private parties. Our classes include something for students of all ages, sizes, and skill levels. Children's classes (ages 7-12) are after school. Children (ages 3-7) come to our Saturday classes. Youth and Adult beginners (13 and older), will sign up for our Introduction to Capoeira program; students are introduced to Capoeira at a steady but challenging pace. Your legs will hurt. You’ll think you look foolish. The amazing rewards begin to happen when one can stick to it and decide that one does have what it takes to get past the pain and become a part of something special. Axé!

What is Capoeira?

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art developed in the 1500s by African and indigenous slaves in Brazil as a form of self-defense from their oppressors. It is marked by its agile and tricky movements that may be executed anywhere from an upside-down position, to a gravity-defying kick. Capoeira has a strong acrobatic component and is always played with music. The word Capoeira is an indigenous word, from the Tupi Guarani people, meaning ‘tall grass’.

What is Capoeira not?

Capoeira is not easy. Nor is it “just for super-fit people.” Capoeira is not “break-dance fighting.” Capoeira is not ineffective.

Capoeira is a seriously beautiful and fascinating art. I love the movement, the playfulness, and the amazing history of Capoeira and Brasil. Kansas City is lucky to have Grupo Axé Capoeira Kansas City Academy.
