Capoeira Forte

Capoeira Forte brings the energy of Brazil's famous martial art to Lynwood, in Perth's south-eastern suburbs, where training is part fight, part dance, part music and entirely community. Capoeira blends acrobatics, self-defence, rhythm and Portuguese language into one flowing practice, and this school delivers it in small, welcoming groups where newcomers and experienced students train side by side.

The atmosphere is what people remember most. Families rave about a teacher who is patient, energetic and genuinely fun, with kids picking up far more than a new sport as they absorb another culture, language, music and live instruments along the way. Adults describe a warm, supportive group where you can come for self-defence, fitness or simply something completely different, and find there is something for everyone.

Classes are kept deliberately small so every student gets attention and trains safely, and the school regularly holds rodas, the traditional circle where players test their movement to live music. For anyone in the Lynwood area looking to build strength, coordination and confidence in a holistic, culturally rich way, Capoeira Forte offers a free trial class so you can step into the circle and feel it for yourself before committing.
