You'll feel that you're being taught by a professional.
Sam immediately sees how you move and where you can develop, and responds by prescribing specific advice. I felt free to express myself, regardless of my level, and that gave me the freedom to truly play and improve.

Sam is a great teacher, he explained so much about capoeira in such an accessible way. Nice teaching style, I enjoyed his classes a lot.
Alyona - Capoeira student
One of the BEST classes ever. This instructor moves with the SOUL of capoeira & encourages play […] over ‘getting it right’. Highly recommended.
Erin - Movement Student
Really interesting playful techniques to experiment with, and Sam has a super nice teaching style. I'm going to the city centre later to bump into people.
