Rooted in community,
built on movement

Capoeira Club Essex was founded by Rui De Sousa and Maya Walters. Both started Capoeira as children, and it has been their life's work ever since.

We are part of the wider Capoeira Club network, connected to the lineage of Mestre Hiram Ribeiro. What started as one class has grown into weekly training for children and adults, curriculum-linked schools programmes, nurseries, birthday parties and performances across the UK.

Kids classes
★★★★★

It is a real art to create classes that keep children as young as 2 years old engaged, entertained and learning for nearly an hour. Coach Rui is a wonder. I could not recommend the children's classes more highly and am so grateful to have found Capoeira Club Essex.

Best capoeira club in London. Maya and Molinha are incredible teachers. They foster a great community, always have a plan for their class, and are always pushing us to develop our best selves.

Birthday parties
★★★★★

We just had my daughter's 9th birthday party with Rui and it was fantastic. It exceeded all of her expectations. Our daughter loves gymnastics, dance and music and Capoeira brought all of those together in a new way. Rui even managed to incorporate some Taylor Swift which of course the girls loved.
