Practice Classes, Tutorials and Demonstrations
PRACTICE CLASSES: Video Download
A practice class is a pre-recorded class where I am teaching my siblings or friends. We are working on basic, fundamental capoeira movements. You can watch and practice along with us.
TUTORIALS: Video Download
A tutorial video is where I’m teaching a specific movement or set of movements in capoeira. You follow along as you listen to me explaining the movements as I’m teaching you. Practicing with a tutorial will help you better understand the fundamentals of capoeira.
DEMONSTRATIONS: Video Download
When you use a demonstration video, you’re going to get an object to place in the center of your space and move around. The object will act as your partner as you move around watching what I’m doing and following along.

BUNDLE TUTORIAL: Round & Round + Stinging Surprise
Double Tutorial: $20 (see individual descriptions below)
I made this bundle so you can go step by step working on the movements I demonstrate in each video. Start with Round & Round, and then move to Stinging Surprise. Also working with these as a set will help you become very strong in the fundamentals of capoeira and prepare you for a game in the roda.
(You can also purchase separately below, but you get a discount with the bundle!)
ROUND & ROUND
Tutorial, 5 min, $12
Level: Easy
In this video I’m specifically working on Ginga, Role, Cocorinha, and Au. These are good movements to work on in a circular rotation. Why? Because this will teach you how to move around somebody really really well and make your game look super fantastic.
STINGING SURPRISE
Tutorial, 6 min, $12
Level: Medium
In this video I’m really focusing on Rabo de arraia, Role and Au. Rabo de arraia means tail of the stingray. I demonstrate it alot in this video. Why is Rabo de arraia important? It’s important because it is a move that you can use to defend or attack. Plus it is a kick that can catch people by surprise as well. So overall it is a really great movement to practice when you’re ready to grow your skills.
HIGH TIDE LOW TIDE
Demonstration, 4 min, $5
Level: Hard
In this video I am specifically working on mixing low movements, with high movements to add that perfect flavor. This will help with more advanced movements such as moving fast into other movements.
MORNING MOVEMENTS
Demonstration, 2 min, $3
Level: Medium
I am blending movements together, such as Ginga, Role, and Au. The reason it’s important to practice sets of movements like this is so you could see and develop your style, and also to practice basic fundamental movements.
MIX & MATCH
Demonstration, 2 min, $3
Level: Hard
In this video I am really focusing on blending one move with another to get that really simple and nice style. This would be a more advanced video to watch and learn. Also the movements I’m doing are Ginga, Role, Negetiva, Raba de raia, and Meia lua de frente.
