Classes with Professor Molinha and Monitora Maya have been the highlights of my weeks for the past few months. They both have very complementary and enjoyable teaching styles. I started as a very beginner and can see the progresses I am making week by week.

It's been a year since I've started taking capoeira lessons with Professor Molinha who leads the Capoeira Club Essex and I've truly enjoyed it. His classes run on Wednesdays and Monitora Maya run the Monday classes. There's such an amazing vibe within the group and it's been a lovely journey so far. I highly recommend!
