About
GUCanada - Capoeira is a vibrant cultural centre and martial arts school located in Oakville, offering classes in the Afro-Brazilian martial art of Capoeira. Capoeira is a unique art form that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, and music, and has a rich history dating back to the 16th century.
At GUCanada, students have the opportunity to learn self-defence, martial arts, acrobatics, music, and Brazilian culture all while improving their strength and fitness. The classes are designed for all levels, from beginners to experienced practitioners, and are taught by skilled instructors who are passionate about sharing the art of Capoeira.
The origins of Capoeira trace back to the slave camps of Brazil, where enslaved Africans developed the art as a way to defend themselves while disguised as dance to avoid detection by their masters. Today, Capoeira is celebrated as a martial art disguised as a dance, with intricate movements and acrobatic techniques.
GUCanada offers a simple pricing structure, allowing students to try out classes before committing to a monthly membership. The monthly membership provides access to classes at various locations around the Greater Toronto Area, giving students the opportunity to train regularly and improve their skills.
