Initiation class - Yasmin was our master. She told us the history of the capoeira in the beginning of the class. The initiation class was very sport and interesting. We recommend ++

A unique experience not to be missed! - This was a fabulous experience in a fascinating location. Very highly recommended. Yasmin is an amazing person - a skilled, brilliant teacher and superb communicator, passionate about capoeira. She began by talking us through the history and political significance of capoeira via the numerous photographs and press cuttings covering the centre’s walls. The class itself was brisk and perfectly paced - teaching us the core movements and how they can be linked together. Come prepared to move your body - it felt great! We returned later in the day for a further demonstration including drumming, traditional instruments, more discussion and to watch training. Also, importantly, your payment contributes to supporting the groups the club runs in disadvantaged local communities. The time we spent & the photos Yasmin took will be forever treasured! Absolute must-do for your time in Salvador.

A joyful, cultural experience - i was lucky enough to be able to do a capoiera class, a samba class and saw the show afterwards. Jasmine is a fantastic teacher. She speaks beautiful English and clearly loves what she does. It was good to learn about the history of the centre and about the origins of capoeira and the samba. The show afterwards was lovely bonus and we got to join in as well. A feast for the senses. All of the people at the centre were very welcoming and friendly. Nowhere better to try capoeira for the first time. Give it a go, you will not regret it.

An unforgettable capoeira experience not to be missed - An incredible experience! We had the chance to take a capoeira class with Yasmin at the ASSOCIAÇÃO DE CAPOEIRA MESTRE BIMBA. She introduced us to the basics of this Brazilian martial art in a place filled with history and passion. Yasmin is an excellent teacher who conveys the rich culture of capoeira with enthusiasm. Highly recommend this memorable experience!

Increible clase de Capoeira ! - The class was very good, we were alone with mestre Formiga who is an excellent professor. She told us about the history of the association and capoeira and teach us how to do the basic moves. We couldn't have expected better !

Capoeira in Salvador Brazil - Jasmine was an excellent capoeira teacher! Highly recommend! She was very knowledgeable and a very patient teacher. A lovely personality.

A really fun samba class! - The samba class was one of the best experiences I had in Salvador. The studio was very helpful and flexible with scheduling the time of the class for our group and also really appreciate that it was in English. Yasmin was our teacher and she taught us so much! We learned a little about the history of samba and got to learn it in its original form. It was a really fun class, I’d love to do it again. Also loved the skirts she gave for the first part, they were cute.

Excellent Capoeira class! - Yasmin was an excellent teacher! I can’t believe we learned capoeira in an hour. Very patient and kept a nice pace with the class. She taught us the history behind this art form and its mind/body connection. I highly recommend Yasmin’s class. A must do in Salvador!
