Our traditional Friday Open Roda was the only roda of its kind in London, offering a weekly space for Capoeiristas from all groups and styles to get together, play capoeira and share their passion for the artform. We aim to keep alive this tradition that spans the centuries, and nowadays spans the continents and connects people from all cultures and backgrounds.
Founded in 1983 in São Paolo, Brazil, today MarAzul can be found in London and Southampton (UK) and Maputo (Mozambique). Since its foundation, MarAzul has implemented social, educational and cultural projects and programmes using Capoeira.
Join us for a weekend of Capoeira, Maracatú, Frevo, Côco and Samba de Roda
