Welcome to Capoeira in New Orleans!

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that is not comparable to any of the more traditional martial arts. It is a combination of martial arts, dance, music and culture. Today, the migration of this art form has taken flight and can be found in many countries outside of Brazil - especially here in the United States. It is possible to find a Capoeira school in almost every state in the nation. Anyone can practice this amazing martial art. Grupo Maculele offers high quality Capoeira lessons in Uptown New Orleans.
