Positive Vibes
September 29th 2019
The Positive Vibes event in Brisbane this September was a great success! Our special guest Professora Borrachina from Portugal was amazing showing us what real hard work and dedication can achieve. Many thanks to the guests and participants from Australia and NZ who contributed to the event's success.
Ungu Clinic Success
March 30, 2019
This March we had one more successful clinic for the graduate students that carry on with our work in New Zealand. Little by little we are stabilising our work philosophy based on the fundamentals of the past and the present.
Welcome 2019
January 6th, 2019
Welcoming the new year with a good spirit and new resolutions to keep ourselves motivated during the year. Last year we had some great events, finishing off with a fun little event in Brisbane, a one day event called "Positive Vibes", which helped top off a great year of Capoeira for Ungu. We have some little events in the planning stages already with our Ungu clinic to be held in March in Hamilton this year, and a bigger event in Brisbane later in the year.
Hoping everyone is well rested after the Christmas break and is ready to get back into training.
Let's do this!
The Reunion
September 17th 2018
This weekend past, we had a very successful Camaradadgem event in Christchurch. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped out, we couldn't have done it without you. It was really great to see old faces and reunite old friends. It just goes to show that the capoeira community is just like a family, and we had a great family reunion. Congratulations to the students who received new cordas, especially to the new Graduado Sushi.
Keep working hard and we will see you all at the next event!

Introducing Mestrando Perere
July 28th 2018
We would like to congratulate Mestrando Perere on receiving his new title at the Aruande Capoeria event, Atravessando Fronteiras, in Cuiabá Brazil. Pererê was awarded the title by his beloved teacher Mestre Demetrius. Surrounded by his friends and family, including some of his students from New Zealand and Australia, the ceremony was emotional and uplifting and reflected the love and respect Pererê has for his capoeira teachers as well as his commitment to the art of capoeira. We are all very proud of our teacher and know he will continue to excel in the years to come.

Winter is coming!
20th May 2018
The weather is getting colder but we have a lot to look forward to.
Early June, Professor Perere will be undergoing his formatura at an event in his hometown of Cuiaba in Brazil. The event will be run by Perere's Mestre, Mestre Demetrius of Aruande Capoeira. To give our support to Perere a couple of the students from NZ and Australia will be travelling to Brazil for the event. But if you can't make this event be sure to make our next event in NZ!
We are happy to announce that we will be holding a big event in Christchurch this September with many international guests! Have a look at our event page for more info.
Keep warm and train hard!
