Our group started in 1999, under the instruction of Paulo Silva, professor Dakor. G.U.C. is based in North London and we also have classes in Luton and Stevenage. We have an open and welcoming attitude, inviting everyone to try Capoeira and discover its multiple benefits.

Strength and balance

Training Capoeira will greatly improve your strength and balance. The combination of acrobatics and martial arts moves helps to build both upper and lower body strength, as well as developing your flexibility. Capoeira is a complete workout – and you will probably discover muscles in places you never knew you had them!

Awareness

As a capoeirista, you will develop strong physical awareness and perception skills. Playing in a Capoeira ‘roda’ requires focus and concentration. The rhythm of the ‘berimbau’ and the words of the songs determine the style and speed of the ‘game’. You must remain acutely aware of your opponent, your own body and the roda.

Fitness

Capoeira is a great way to keep fit. Combining music, dance and martial arts makes Capoeira a lot more interesting than working out in the gym. You will notice a real improvement in your core strength and balance after just a couple of training sessions.

Our classes

We run evening classes from Monday to Sunday in different locations around North London, Luton and Stevenage. Beginners are welcome to all our classes, and we also have dedicated sessions for more advanced students. We are always pleased to see new faces, so feel free to pop in and give it a try.

Our philosophy

G.U.C. is an open group, always happy to welcome newcomers to the family. Our teachers aim to create an environment that fosters energy and commitment – all we ask in return is a little hard work! We are a close-knit bunch and organize events and visits to other groups in UK and abroad.
