OUR MISSION
Capoeira Malês is a community run non-profit organization dedicated to individuals changing their lives while participating in Brazilian traditions and arts. As members of the Seattle community, we believe in opening our studio's doors to all genders, ages and socio-economic backgrounds by providing classes, community outreach and access, and youth development.

OUR HISTORY
Capoeira Malês was founded by Mestre Curisco and Contra Mestre Lua Branca after emigrating from Brazil to the United States and Canada respectively. Their aim is to share their love of capoeira and their wealth of experience with students, based on their shared values of respect, discipline and tradition. Not only are Mestre Curiso and Contra Mestre Lua Branca committed to the preservation and values of capoeira as an art, but also to disseminating the Brazilian culture worldwide and passing on these values to their students.
