The philosophy of Axé Capoeira is to respect all the mestres, preserve the roots and traditions of Capoeira, and train Capoeira in all its aspects: as a fight, art, and culture.

We endeavor to teach and educate so that capoeira will grow in a positive healthy way. We attempt to pass on to the students physical and mental methods of training so that they learn to create situations and maintain a dialogue within the game.

By playing both with friends and adversaries, students learn to deal with any situation in or out of the roda. In North America, we not only teach movements, but the Brazilian language and customs as well, so that the students may become true capoeiristas.

Capoeira's foundational style, Jogo de Angola, is characterized by its fluidity, grace, and emphasis on evasion and deception.

By celebrating the unique styles and movements from different regions, practitioners can deepen their understanding and appreciation of Capoeira. This approach not only preserves the cultural heritage of the art but also fosters innovation and creativity, ensuring that Capoeira continues to evolve and thrive.

Additionally, passing down knowledge and techniques through storytelling, songs, and chants, known as oral traditions, is vital.
