Their Words. Their Journey.
Every student who walks through our door carries a different story. Here are a few of them.
I came in thinking I was just going to get a workout. Three months later I am playing berimbau, I know the songs, and I have friends I never expected to make. Capoeira changed how I see myself.
My daughter was shy and struggled to connect with other kids. After six months at Evolve she is confident, she performs in the roda in front of people, and she asks to go to class. It is remarkable.
I am 47 years old and I have never felt more physically capable. The CapoFit classes are intense but smart. Mestre Cabeção knows exactly how to push you without breaking you. I am stronger than I was at 30.
I moved to Miami knowing nobody. Evolve became my community. The people here look out for each other inside and outside the gym. I did not just find a martial art. I found my people.
My son has ADHD and we struggled to find an activity that held his attention. Capoeira is the first thing he has stuck with for more than a month. The music, the movement, the culture — it speaks to him in a way nothing else has.
I was looking for something different. Not just a gym. Not just a class. Capoeira at Evolve is an experience. Every session I learn something about movement, about music, about myself. There is nothing else like it in Miami.

Your Questions. Our Answers.
Before you walk through the door, we want you to feel completely informed. No surprises.
That is exactly why our program is perfect for you. Most of our students started with zero Capoeira experience, and that is how Mestre Julio prefers it. Starting fresh is actually an advantage — you have no bad habits to unlearn, and you build everything the right way from day one.
Our beginner-friendly classes, expert guidance, and welcoming community help you grow with confidence at your own pace. There is no pressure, no judgment, and no expectation other than showing up and being curious.
“Quem não arrisca, não petisca” — nothing ventured, nothing gained. The best time to start was 20 years ago. The second-best time is today.Capoeira is truly for every age. In Brazil, we say "Capoeira não tem idade" — meaning anyone can experience the benefits, no matter their stage of life or fitness level.
For kids and teens: Capoeira builds respect, confidence, and self-expression through movement, music, and cultural education. It helps them grow stronger, more focused, and socially connected in a fun, supportive environment.
For adults: Capoeira combines fitness, stress relief, and Brazilian culture, with classes adapted for every stage of life. From high-energy training to gentle movement, all within a welcoming community.
For families: Training together creates meaningful memories and stronger bonds. Parents and children who share Capoeira report it as one of the best decisions they have made together.
You are exactly who Capoeira was made for. Many of our most successful students started exactly where you are: no experience, no fitness base, no flexibility. Just the desire to learn and grow.
The truth is, Capoeira develops you over time. You do not need to be flexible, strong, or athletic to start. Capoeira makes you that way through fun, gentle, progressive movement that feels natural and never overwhelming.
“Devagar se vai ao longe” — slowly one goes far. With every small step, your confidence, strength, and flexibility build in a way that feels earned, not forced.We do not publish our membership prices publicly, because the right plan depends on your goals, your schedule, and your family situation. After your 2-week trial, we sit down with you and walk through every option. There is no pressure and no hard sell.
What we can tell you is this: our students consistently say this is the best investment they have made for themselves and their families. With us, you are not just paying for classes. You are getting authentic Brazilian culture, expert instruction, community support, and personal growth all in one.
Capoeira replaces gym memberships, separate fitness classes, and social activities with a single complete experience. Most families realize within one class how much they have been missing.
Everyone in Miami is busy. That is exactly why our program is designed for real life. Flexible class times, multiple sessions per week, and a supportive community help you make this fit your schedule without stress.
Most students invest just 2 to 3 hours per week. Less than a gym trip or a Netflix binge. In that time, they build strength, reduce stress, and learn Brazilian culture. It is not just a workout. It is fitness, stress relief, cultural education, and community all rolled into one.
From the moment you arrive, you will be welcomed by Mestre Julio and the community. No awkward introductions. No standing in the corner. You are part of the group from minute one.
Your first class combines movement, music, and culture. It starts with a gentle warm-up, then moves into learning the basic ginga (the fundamental movement of Capoeira), basic kicks, and escapes. You will also get to try authentic instruments like the berimbau in a supportive, no-pressure space.
By the end, you will participate in the roda: our traditional circle where students clap, sing, and encourage each other. No judgment, no performance. Just fun, culture, and real community connection.
