About Ungu Capoeira Academy brisbane
Ungu Capoeira Academy brings the Afro-Brazilian art of capoeira to Woolloongabba, part of a wider Ungu network that spans Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Capoeira blends martial arts, acrobatics, music and dance into one dynamic practice, and members here describe it as an outstanding way to build strength, balance and flexibility while learning something genuinely new.
The Brisbane school is led by Mestrando Pererê, a Brazilian capoeirista whose energy and decades of teaching experience set the tone for the academy. Students consistently praise the supportive, friendly atmosphere, noting that everyone is welcomed and encouraged regardless of starting fitness or ability. Beyond the physical movement, training also introduces the instruments, songs and Portuguese language that are woven through capoeira culture.
With a structured cord-level progression system guiding students from beginner through to advanced, the academy offers a clear path to develop over time. It suits anyone after a workout that is as social and cultural as it is physical, with the chance to make lasting friendships along the way. For Woolloongabba locals seeking an energetic, inclusive martial art, Ungu Capoeira offers a welcoming and inspiring place to begin.
