My kids took part in the capoeira camp and they learned so much and had a great time! The instructors are knowledgeable and welcoming. Cant wait to support them in the future.

Tacoma Capoeira had an amazing summer day camp that introduced my daughter to Capoeira and it’s heritage. Is she is hooked! She is signing up for twice weekly lessons!

Professor Galo and his students in Tacoma are simply amazing. I often train with Professor Galo in Seattle, but there is nothing like seeing him interact with his hometown students in Tacoma. The space is open and inviting for students of all ages and abilities. Tacoma Capoeira Center is a great place to train, grow, and fellowship!Fed Brooks

This academy, run by Mestre Manganga (Syed Taqi), is an awesome studio where the history of capoeira is appreciated and taught via music, language, history and gatherings with his team of teachers. My students travelled to visit before and were elated at the great teachings by their distant relatives. Capoeira brings families together. I cant wait to visit again.

Tacoma Capoeira Center is my familys home away from home. Not only is the training welcoming to all levels of fitness and experience, it is challenging as well. It trains confidence, culture, music, strength and agility, awareness, strategy. Most of all, Tacoma Capoeira Center is a community of friends, eager to welcome new people and share in the awesome experience of Capoeira.

An experience that feels wholesome, inclusive, and enlightening. Tacoma Caopeira Center really helps make the culture around the art accessible to all skill levels. You will feel like part of a real family, and help each other feed of the good vibrations generated in the room. Highly recommend this to literally anyone.

Dope people. Challenging exercise. Representing the capoeira Angola culture. Omari is a great leader and inspires folks to push hard and do their best. I could say more but I think you should come check it out for yourself.

The Tacoma Capoeira Center provides the community with rich cultural experiences and nurtures cultural understanding. The instructors are very caring and patient, but also dont shy away from challenging their students to grow. The class is great for kids and is a fun way to learn about a unique culture. My son loves it!

If your looking for a great community and a place to have fun and train, this is it. I started Capoeira last year and not only is it a physical learning experience but also a cultural and historical one as well. Learning instruments,songs the history behind them and the art it’s self is just another added onto the experience.

Im so excited to have discovered Tacoma Capoeira. Classes provide a great workout for kids and adults at all skill and fitness levels. Love the blend of dance, martial arts, gymnastics, music and culture in Capoeira.

I cant say enough great things about the people at the Tacoma Capoeira Center. The axé is palpable, and the training is simultaneously intense and relaxed--the combination for beautiful Capoeira. Cant wait to come back!

Positive whole body experience. Welcoming atmosphere. My first day, I felt akward. By the end of class I felt like I was meant to be there. I learned a new language and how to play a new instrument. The diverse community of people sharing this experience together is a beautiful site. I cant say enough about Tacoma Capoeira Center. Im excited to be a part of this family.

What an amazing space! Omari is a great teacher that makes you feel relaxed as a newbie. Capoeira will kick your butt. I took the wednesday class, and feel the effects days later. This form of fitness/ dance will strengthen your legs and arms. Be prepared for a lot of handstands and bring plenty of water. Like I said its a workout. Enjoy!

I travelled half the globe from Poland to meet this guys and play with them. I would have never expected how much of a crazy good idea that was. Atmosphere of understanding and support, amazing energy of the open minded and open hearted people and SICK capoeira skills thought in the best possible way. Axé!

My daughter (6) and I both love the classes!! Galo, the instructor, is amazing. Hes fun, patient and encouraging. We all push each other to expand our abilities. I love that you get a chance to learn Brazilian culture, music and community through the rodas. Its also extremely affordable, so bring your whole family!

The Tacoma Capoeira Centre is truly a hidden gem inside the Urban Grace Church on Market Street and an inseparable part of the Washington Capoeira Centre, a leading Capoeira school in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. In this magical and sacred place filled with good vibes and great energy beyond expectation, every practitioner comes through the door with humility and respect and leaves the studio feeling enlightened and a sense of accomplishment.Among all the wonderful people here, Prof. Galo is a passionate Capoeirista, a dedicated mentor, a caring supporter, and a generous friend. He always gives constructive instructions and guides the class through an emotional and physical ritual of quality training and solid improvement.You are invited to join us on this wholesome Capoeira journey fostered by trust, responsibility, and motivation; and together let us grow strong in strength and agility, cultural and body awareness, and do so with a thankful heart and a delightful spirit.Capoeira in the roda and in life!

Omari is probably the most genuine person I know. He treats everyone with so much care and respect. Hes my daughters favourite capoeira teacher. We travel to Tacoma from Seattle every week just so she can train with him. The community in Tacoma should feel blessed knowing they have a leader like Omari representing Capoeira Angola.

Nothing but good things to say about this group. I visted a few times and learned so much about South American culture. The music is rich and creates a sense of community. The group welcomed me and encouraged me each time I came to play. I definitely would recommend this group to anyone visiting or looking for capoeira instruction. They have many different levels of player, a diverse community and even early morning hours.

Since me and my son started training at the Tacoma capoeria center I have had the pleasure as a father to watch my son get stronger. While he enjoys every class he takes and looks forward to training. I myself have seen growth in strength I too enjoy every class . Both of us really enjoy the instructors and the instruction that is given. The teacher is always pushing us to be better and stronger in capoeria but overall pushing us to be a better person.. so all in all I really love the classes and the people that I get to train with.. Thanks

Tacoma Capoeira Center provides a great and supportive community to learn this art. Professor Galo pushes you hard enough to be challenged and teaches what you need feel successful at every level so that you can continue to grow in your training. Axé!

This is great place to train capoeira. Ive known the teacher for years and he lives the art.

Great energy, welcoming community, and excellent training! Looking forward to learning more!!

Professor Galo has a calm and precise manner, he consistently demonstrates a deep love and caring for his students and Capoiera in general. Having trained with the people at his Tacoma school, they are a really solid group that loves Capoiera and is consistently welcoming and a joy to be around.Do yourself a favor, and join this group. It will make you a better, stronger person, both emotionally and physically.

I hesitate to put my sentimental thoughts in this google review forum, but it feels important in this case ...Reflecting yesterday on capoeira and the last almost year of training for me, I was stricken with gratitude and amazement. The quality of teachers in the Washington Capoeira Center - Mestre Mangangá, our Professores (Professor Galo who holds down classes here in Tacoma!), our Instrutores, and senior students, all hold this group to an unmatchable standard - and the quality of the teachings, consciously, culturally rooted with an eye for what they mean for people as individuals - is almost beyond comprehension. It definitely facilitates the growth of great capoeiristas, is a big reason why this is such a beautiful community, and certainly feels like it makes it easier to face the world with grace. For me it’s easy to take for granted but I just wanted to see it and recognize it for my own sake and anyone considering this place. There is something special happening here and I’m glad to be a part of it and take refuge in this community. Thanks to everyone in here. Axé a todos.

My Tacoma Capoeira time each week is soul food, community connection, and dance for my Life!

Profesor Galo balances listening to his students coming from a wide spectrum of experiences in Capoiera with pushing one to grow as a person. I train primarily in the Seattle Capoiera Center but make sure to make it at least once a month so that I can participate in the vibrant Capoiera community that is being built in Tacoma. See you all at the next roda!
