Culture + Exercise + Community  

ABADÁ-Capoeira Bronx (ACBX) is a growing community-based organization with the mission to preserve, share and expand the art of capoeira – an Afro-Brazilian art form which blends elements of dance, music, acrobatics and self-defense into a martial art – within diverse communities and families.
To utilize capoeira as a medium to create positive environments that foster inter-generational engagement, promote healthy lifestyles, culturally enrich students’ lives and encourage civic responsibility.
ACBX creates multifaceted capoeira arts programs that explore the many disciplines the art of capoeira encompasses from which students can benefit from physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Our programs creatively motivate our communities to be physically active through the practice of Capoeira.
