To any Rutgers student, faculty or staff member, our practices are :
Tuesdays and Thursdays 9-11pm
College Ave. Gym Upper Deck

Established in 1993, the Rutgers Capoeira Club is one of the first collegiate capoeira clubs run by students in the Northeast. Founded by Mestre Cigano of Grupo Liberdade de Capoeira, our classes are currently led by Professor Maranhão who brings us this beautiful and poetic martial art from its traditional Afro-Brazilian roots. We practice a contemporary style of capoeira, inclusive of both "Angola" and "Regional" styles and are also immersed in Afro-Brazilian culture through traditional songs as well as dances such as Samba de Roda and Maculele.

Everyone is welcome to also practice outside Rutgers:
Mondays 6:30-8:30pm
"The Hub" 411 Joyce Kilmer Avenue
New Brunswick, NJ 08901

Wednesdays and Fridays 8:30-10:00pm
Weapons9 Gym 121 Jersey Ave on the 3rd Floor
New Brunswick, NJ 08901

Please wear something comfortable that you can move in. All trial classes are free and payments for the outside classes should be discussed with Professor Maranhão.
