History

Established in 2009.

Omulu Capoeira of Minnesota began in 2009 under the leadership of Monitor Coruja, and grew from a small club to a thriving training academy. The excitement and dedication of our students is our strongest point. We pride ourselves in creating a positive community made up of people from all different walks of life, and we firmly believe that capoeira has the power to improve the quality of life of everyone.

Our larger family is an international organization. Our headquarters is based in the United States, directed by Mestre Preguiça, a student of the famed Mestre Bimba. The mission of Omulu Capoeira is to promote the art of Capoeira around the globe through development of a high quality training academy, a professional performance group, and a community culture and and education program.
