The Group
The Swiss Center for Capoeira was founded 2016 in Zurich. A second group was opened 2019 in St. Gallen. 2020 a third one was opened in Winterthur. We are the first capoeira group in Switzerland promoting the unique and playful capoeira style originated in the groups of Cordão de Ouro (="the golden cord").
Our community advocates elegant & dynamic movements, energetic music and strong social aspects.
We, the Swiss Center for Capoeira, are a very international group, composed out of beginners and advanced Capoeiristas from over 15 nationalities.
Therefore we welcome everyone, regardless of background or capoeira experience. One thing is always sure-

"My path in the Capoeira world started about 25 years ago as a young boy. What started as a hobby soon became a passion.
This wonder martial art presents a recipe, which is hard to resist.
Nowadays as a certified Capoeira instructor i teach people of all ages with an experience of 20 years in several countries.
Along side the regular trainings i offer capoeira shows, workshops, special courses and more...
Being such a colourful and versified Art, visiting further advanced training regularly is essential for me as well, in order to discover the vast variety of aspects, Capoeira conceals in it. Nevertheless, at the end of the day it is all about sharing my passion with others...Capoeira :)

Our
Inspiration
The Swiss Center for Capoeira (SCC) is a Swiss sports association, proudly affiliated with the highly professional & diverse capoeira association The Israeli Center for Capoeira (ICC).
​
I started Capoeira with Master Joe (Noam Ezra) Pequeno.
Master Joe lives and teaches in the center of Israel, where he opened his first group over 20 years ago. Nowadays along side his groups Master Joe also serves as the head of the Israeli association for traditional Chinese medicine, teaching and practicing the Chinese medicine.
​
ICC is led by the well respected and famous Master Edan.
He is known for his modern versatile teaching methods and techniques, both for adults as well as for children & youth. Nowadays ICC is the biggest Capoeira association in Israel with many thousands of members.
​
In the heart of our capoeira communities stands the vision of capoeira as a community based on mutual respect, safe environment, exchange of information, ideas and inspiration.
​
Our capoeira style promotes the dialogue in the game of capoeira, an unique art, a mean of expression and freedom of movement.
