History

Established in 2007.

I’ am Massape Capoeira from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and I’m part of «Capoeira Luanda» under the direction of Mestre Jelon Vieira and the supervision of professor Macarrao. I came to San Diego in 2002, trained a lot and taught many classes that year and fell in love with the capoeira life style. I decide to teach it for a living… I got back to Brasil and finished my bachelor in Psychology studding a lot about capoeira on it…

In 2005 after graduating I went to New Zealand to teach for 3 months and then came back to San Diego… In 2007 I started to teach in San Diego again and build my own Group of students.

I have been learning Capoeira from Instructor Massape (Capoeira Luanda) for about two years. The class has not only helped my acrobatics, but has served as a gateway for me to feel comfortable in the world of martial arts. Thus sense of comfortability has allowed me to partake in other martial arts such as BJJ, Muay Thai, boxing, and kickboxing. Massape’s class is located in the heart of North Park and draws a young working professional crowd. If you are looking to learn Capoeira, to surround yourself with a positive group of people, and would like to learn from a highly skilled and very passionate Capoeira Instructor, I would highly recommend Massape’s class.

I train capoeira in NYC and visited Massape’s class while in SD. He happened to be having a workshop outside that day, which was amazing for a northerner. The entire class was wonderful with welcoming students and great instruction. Most of all, Massape’s interest in his students growth and success was even evident with a guest teaching. Highly recommended for all levels! Axé! ~ Canário

Capoeira is culture, capoeira is music, capoeira is a dance and a martial art. Capoeira is a way of life. Massape is a great teacher and a great capoeirista.
This is a good place for anyone to get in shape and enjoy it. For adults and definitely for kids!

Great capoeira instuctor!
San Diego is lucky to have such a great teacher, very fun and inviting all the time.
Massape’s energy invites good and warm people, making the classes always enjoyable no matter how tough it can be.
Doesn’t matter if you’ve never done or you’re advanced, everyone is welcomed.
Capoeira Luanda is a great community.
Get in touch with this art form!

If you want to play Capoeira, this is the place to go!
Massapê is an experienced, likeable, down to earth, motivational, and inspirational powerhouse of a teacher. He just has a great way of engaging you and making you have fun: sweat, spin, kick, flip, sing, and enhance yourself mentally, athletically, and culturally.
He also has a magical way of creating a friendly dynamic within the group. You really get a sense of support and community right from the get-​go. You’ll meet great people with big heart, and an infectious forever-​young attitude.
There are always new challenges, new sequences, new kicks, tricks, lyrics, and acrobatics to conquer, but there’s no one in the world better than Massapê to steer you and feed your hunger for Capoeira!
So, GO FOR IT!
Take the risk!
It’s good for the soul ;)
PS– I have a butt now. Thanks, Massape! ;))

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Great great instructor, friendly students a young capoerista couldn’t ask for more! Plus I lost 15 pounds in the first 3 months, replaced it with lean muscle!

Massape is amazing!!! I can say I am not the most in shape person and he takes the time to help me with all movements, it doesn’t matter if there are 5 or 50 of us in class, he will take the time to approach you individually and show you what can you do to get your «game» better or just to give you a compliment for an achieved goal. Not only Massape teaches Capoeira the martial arts, he also gets the students involved with the roots of capoeira and the brazilian culture. The children classes are another hit, I have a boy and girl and they both love the class and their teacher. Come and check it out, you won’t regret.

Can I give Massape more than 5 stars? Please?
Massape has helped with my daughter’s focus, endurance & strength. Also, her rhythm, music, & dance. She’s been at it for 9 – 10 months now and I’ve seen amazing progress (she’s 6 yrs. old, soon to be 7). I love it when she refers to different equipment and moves using the Brazilian word! He’s so good with the kids, too! Always happy & encouraging, making them feel like they are challenged, and they can accomplish the more difficult moves.
We’ve been taking the class in La Mesa… while I’m not a fan of the dance studio where he teaches (they’re a bit snarky), his class makes up for the location.
Thanks, Massape, we’re so lucky to have found you!

Massape’s capoeira classes aren’t anything less than exhilarating. This man is a master of his art and his passion is truly contagious. Capoeira is a mixture of martial arts, dance, and music. If you are not in the best physical shape (like me), capoeira is a great way to begin. It has made me more flexible, given me endurance, strength and has even made me more aware of my surroundings. Massape will teach you everything he knows about this beautiful art form. He really brings out the best in all of his students. The first class is free so come try it out.

About three weeks ago I started taking Massape’s class, this was my first time doing capoeira. I’ve gone to the classes in East Lake, Balboa Park, and North Park and all three locations are great.
Massape’s energy and passion for capoeria is contagious! His class is so much fun and you get a really good work out. He is an awesome teacher, really nice and very experienced. After three weeks, thanks to his help I can already do some of the acrobatics.
I’ve also had the chance to see him teach the kids class, and the kids love him, he truly has a way with kids.
I strongly recommend taking his class!

I joined this group this passed November and I am only five months in: already I am doing acrobatics I thought I would never do. I am so flexible because of capoeira. Massape the instructor is very down to earth, he loves to teach and has a way with children. I highly recommend taking the first class at no cost and hopefully make it part of your life. It is so much fun, educational, and did I mention fun?

I’ve been taking the class with Massape at the World Beat Center for a few months now, and recently started going to the classes at Stage 7 in North Park as well. Massape is extremely knowledgeable about all things capoeira– the music, the acrobatics, the history and culture– and this knowledge is evident every time we train. He has many of the characteristics of what I consider to be a great teacher/​mestre: he gives individual attention to each student so they can improve their respective weaknesses, has a wonderful sense of humor, drives students to push themselves, and knows a lot about group dynamics due to his background in Psychology. (Did I mention he’s bad ass?) I highly recommend checking out one of his classes– it’s a good way to meet awesome people in a bitchin’ space with great energy, learn how to play the instruments, aprender um pouco de portugues, sweat and get your bunda in ship-​shape. MUITO LEGAL :)

I took the first free class in balboa park, it was the day of the Master’s birthday. It was soooo cool! I never did capoeira before and I fell in love with it. The beginner class was very nice, the teacher is so energetic, it is contagious! We all sang, played music and learned capoeira. After that, he did a performance with his friends for his birthday, that was just stunning the experienced guys seem to be really good.
I definitely recommend it, the first class is free, and for sure you’ll come back then, just like me.
