Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads in our Capoeira family! 💛🖤

Today we celebrate the fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers and father figures who support, guide and inspire the people around them every day.

Capoeira is about much more than movement. It is about community, culture, respect, resilience and passing knowledge from one generation to the next — values that make today especially meaningful. 🇧🇷🇦🇺

To all the dads in our group and our wider community: thank you for your strength, patience, encouragement and love.

Feliz Dia dos Pais! ❤️

Axé! 🙏

🕊️💛 Rest in Peace, Mestre Gato 💛🕊️

It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of Mestre Gato, one of the founders of Grupo Senzala and an essential figure in the history of Capoeira.

Mestre Gato was deeply important and present throughout the journey of our own Mestre Rodrigo Carneiro , and his teachings, support, and legacy will always remain part of our group.

This is an enormous loss for Grupo Senzala and for the entire Capoeira community. Our heartfelt condolences go to his family, students, friends, and everyone whose life was touched by him.

Thank you for everything, Mestre. Your legacy will continue to live through every roda, song, and capoeirista you inspired.🙏🏽

🌍✨ Capoeira, Africa and Brazil — connected through movement, music and history.

Last week we had the privilege of sharing capoeira at a the Australian National University event celebrating Africa, with representatives from different African countries in attendance and organised by .

Before the roda, we spoke about capoeira’s African roots — from the influence of Angola and Bantu cultures, to traditions such as Engolo/N’golo, the power of rhythm, the berimbau, the circle, and the way music, movement and community came together in Brazil to create this beautiful art form.

Capoeira is more than a martial art.
It is dance, fight, game, music, resistance, identity and culture.

A huge thank you to and everyone who joined us, asked questions, supported the presentation and shared the energy of the roda with us. It was a special opportunity to honour the African legacy that lives within capoeira and continues to connect people around the world.

Axé! 🙏🏽
