What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Sara Vvv

"Professional and friendly atmosphere where you can get an amazing workout and more. You can be in good shape but come get in "capoeira shape." It improves strength, flexibility, coordination, and endurance. There isn't anything like it. If you aren't in good shape you will have a really great time getting fit. The all levels class is really inviting and Mestre Jamaika is a great teacher to help you learn the basics and advance to higher levels."

Marcus Strand

"This place is awesome! Great people, Mestre Jamaika is a great instructor and Capoeira is one of the most fun martial arts out there (I’ve practiced about 5 different ones and this is awesome!)! 100% worth a try if you want to train and improve mobility with a great group. All skill levels are welcome."

Tanner Butler

"Among the greatest experiences of my life is having been a student with Salt Lake Capeoria! I'm looking forward to the best time I can attend class. Under the guidance and tutelage of Mestre and the many great teachers here, you will find an immersive cultural experience which involves and actives your mind, body, and soul through movement, music, cultural history, community, and play. Truly, there is something for everyone here. The first class is free, you have nothing to lose 🙏💚"

Spencer Glenn

"Mestre Jamaika’s knowledge of capoeira and skills as a teacher are remarkable, but what makes him and Salt Lake Capoeira so special is the sense of community that they’ve created here. People have fun, learn, grow, and feel a part of the community. Kids have an outlet to exercise, belong, and have a role model to look up to. As do adults. I’m really impressed at what they’ve managed to create and foster, and of the lives they’ve touched over the many years they’ve been in business."
