Are you interested in taking Capoeira classes in Rio? This is quite simply a list of some academías (schools) in Rio. They are not recommended by me, just listed.
Capoeira Classes in Rio
Mestre Nestor Galpão das Artes Urbanas R. Padre Leonel Franca map (in front of the Planetarium), Gávea. This is where my good friend Fifi used to train and I´m pretty sure it´s really good. All the info you need is on his site.
Jorge Itapuã Beiramar R. Visconde de Pirajá 608 room 608, Ipanema map. He was also indicated by Fifi but she is not sure about the status of his school since he has been working a lot in Europe. Anyway on the site you find some cool clips (capoeira the leaf on the bottom right). If you type “Jorge Itapuã” on Youtube you will get some nice videos to watch.
