These first two are "samplers" of some of the more advanced capoeira club members.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are a few clips from the capoeira club in 2002-2003.

Some of the clips' frame rates are off, so it seems as if the people are moving super fast and super slow at times. Just try to imagine them flowing smoothly. Sometimes it makes a nice effect, I think. More will be added as we get them. If you have any problems downloading the videos, please contact Faisca.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This website is for the Capoeira Club at Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts.

The Capoeira Club was started in the 2002-2003 academic year as a way to spread knowledge of the Brazilian martial art around the college.

Members attend two meetings a week to practice the movements, music, and culture associated with capoeira.

Practicing capoeira benefits your body as you tone muscles and increase flexibility due to the wide range of movements. It also lets you learn how to play exotic instruments and music. And most important of all, the experience of a capoeira group allows you to meet great people, have a great time, and learn a lot of new things.

Anyone interested in joining the Capoeira Club is encouraged to contact the president,
Mike Landry (Faisca), or come to the Plourde aerobics room to attend a meeting.
