Professor Fabricio
Expert Capoeira Trainer
Professor Fabricio will be teaching the class. He has been deeply immersed in this art for over 25 years, starting from his teenage years. When Professor Fabricio was 11 years old, he embarked on his journey into the world of Capoeira. Inspired by his cousin's enthusiasm for Capoeira, he joined the local sports club and enrolled in training under Professor Guerreiro, who was part of the Candeias group. Later, when his instructor relocated to another city, Professor Fabricio began training directly under Mestre Suino in 1999.
At the age of 15, Mestre Suino invited Fabricio to be his assistant, teaching in both public and private schools as part of an accredited program through the city of Goias. When Fabricio turned 17, he was awarded his monitor cord, signifying his transition from a student to a recognized practitioner. In 2005, he moved to the United States and commenced teaching in Pompano Beach, Florida. From there, he relocated to Washington, where he currently leads separate adult and children's classes at different academies.
Therefore, Professor Fabricio has been sharing his knowledge of this art for over 20 years. He embarked on his journey in Brazil and now brings his expertise to the Eastside community.

CAPOEIRA in Kirkland
Capoeira is the vibrant Brazilian art form that weaves together the essence of self-defense, dance, captivating music, rhythm, thrilling acrobatics, rich history, and vibrant culture. It's not just a physical activity; it's a dialogue between practitioners, a mesmerizing conversation through movement that can convey a multitude of emotions and stories.
Our Capoeira classes are a thrilling journey. We kick off with an invigorating warm-up and stretching session to prepare your body. Then, we gradually build the foundation for the core movements of Capoeira, all while immersing you in the enchanting Portuguese names of these techniques. Through engaging games and dynamic drills, you'll not only become comfortable with these movements but also master the commands and their meanings.
As the class progresses, we delve into the enchanting world of Capoeira music. You'll be introduced to the songs, instruments, their significance, and the fascinating historical context behind them. The climax of the class is the "Roda," where you'll put all the elements together in a lively, contextual setting. Here, you'll sing, clap, and engage in the game with fellow students, exploring defense tactics, unleashing your creativity, and, most importantly, having an absolute blast.
Join us on this exhilarating journey through the vibrant world of Capoeira, where every move tells a story and every class is a celebration of movement, culture, and fun!
