All while learning martial arts, acrobatics, music, and culture.

A Community, Not a GymYou train with people, not next to them. Every session is social by design.
"I started as a complete beginner. I was hesitant, thinking it was beyond my physical abilities, but I was wrong. Capoeira is genuinely for every body; it can be scaled to any fitness level. I've already improved my strength, flexibility, mobility, and overall athleticism."
A Complete Practice
Capoeira brings together movement, music, and a game you play with another person. In one class you train your body, learn real technique, and pick up rhythm and culture at the same time. That is what people mean when they call it a complete practice.
Movement, music, and culture have always belonged together in Capoeira, which grew out of African and Afro-Brazilian history over a long period of time. Because you are moving, keeping rhythm, and reacting to a partner all at once, your mind stays engaged the whole class, and many students say they leave feeling more focused and awake.
More Than a Workout

Why We Teach It This Way
We don't teach Capoeira in a random order. Every class is built to prepare you for the next one, so by the time you learn a new movement, you already have the balance, coordination, and confidence it depends on.
Most adults need exactly this. Not because they are weak, but because they have spent years sitting. Hips get tight, balance gets worse, and we stop moving in different directions. A lot of people also worry about looking awkward. The beginner course is built around all of that. We rebuild how you move first, then add the Capoeira on top.
By the End of Six Weeks
Most people have a steady ginga, a few escapes and kicks they can use, better balance and mobility, and their first experience playing in the roda. Many also notice they move more easily during the day and feel more confident trying new things. From there, the regular classes are just the next step.
Your Free VIP Class is where this starts. You practice the ginga and your first movements, meet the group, and see exactly how we teach before you decide to continue.
Meet Mestre Cabeção
Julio Arruda dos Santos · São Paulo, Brazil
Nearly 30 years in Capoeira. Julio started teaching as a teenager and has trained students across many countries and cultures before building Evolve Miami from the ground up. He teaches the beginner classes personally.
He created the beginner program for a simple reason. Adults today live differently. We sit more, move less, and often start with very little movement practice. So he built a step by step path that meets you where you are and makes sure no one feels lost.

"No matter your physical level or workout routine, there is a place for everyone. Julio pushes you to beat your own limits, at your own pace."
"A perfect combination of physical skill, technique, and learning the culture, tradition, and music. Great energy, a real sense of community, and a Mestre who is a thoughtful teacher."
Common Questions
Do I need any experience?
None at all. Every class is built for beginners and each movement is taught step by step and adapted to you. The only thing you need to bring is curiosity.
I'm not fit or flexible. Can I still start?
That's exactly why you start. Capoeira builds strength, flexibility, and coordination from zero, at your own pace. Most people are surprised how much changes in the first few weeks.
What if I have old injuries?
Movements are scaled to your body. Let the instructor know before class and we adapt so you can take part safely.
What should I bring or wear?
Just comfortable clothes you can move in. No equipment and no preparation needed.
What happens after the free class?
If you love it, we'll walk you through the 6-Week Beginner Course, a clear path to learn Capoeira properly. No pressure, and the decision is always yours.
