Visit: Capoeira Lebanon

Sobreviventes literally means "survivors" and our instructor gave the school its name after the 34-day war with Israel in the summer of 2006. The name was inspire by the fact that a core group of its founding members continued to train Capoeira during the war.

Capoeira Sobreviventes was formed in May of 2006 as a result of there being no existing cultural center for training the African Brazilian art form, despite the fact that there are thousands of Brazilian-Lebanese living in Lebanon today (and millions of Lebanese living in Brazil!).
