About
Angoleiros do Mar
Oxford Capoeira Society is a project developed in Oxford through Angoleiros do Mar (angoleirosdomar.com), an international Capoeira Angola group led by Mestre Marcelo Angola (Instagram). Rooted in the Capoeira Angola tradition of Bahia, Angoleiros do Mar has worked for more than 20 years to keep this practice alive in Oxford.
Our classes bring together movement, music, singing, history, and community. We teach Capoeira Angola with respect for its roots, its teachers, and the people who share the roda. The group welcomes students, professionals, local residents, families, and anyone curious to learn.
Teacher
Professor Lobinho
Mauricio Jiménez Mota has 16 years of experience in Capoeira Angola under the guidance of Mestre Marcelo Angola, leader of Angoleiros do Mar, originally from Ilha de Itaparica, Bahia.
