so i am going to madrid and Barcelona in december and was wondering if there are any established capoeira groups or classes in the cities? Thanks for any info available.

Capoeira groups? What are these?

Should this topic, maybe, go in the "Studying in Spain, Education, & Language" forum category?

Saludos, MadridMan

madrid man,
Capoeira is an afro brazilian martial art. its where break dancing originated from.

Who would have thought! I learn so much from this website!

Ahhh... yes.. I've seen that HERE in Columbus, Ohio (believe it or not) as well as on TeleMadrid SAT. It's a super-slow martial art with no contact, lots of slow, sweeping kicks, and lots of slow pulling on one another. Yes. It's fascinating. Good luck finding it in Spain.

You can find it in spain.When I lived in sevilla a spanish friend of mine practiced with a group in the park. I am pretty sure that you will find it in barcelona as well.

A quick google search turns up:

Glad you asked. Our son is into capoeira, so next time we're in Spain he'll be happy to look these places up. Let us know about your experiences if you follow up.

Is that the martial art, Christine do(J-Lo looklike) in Tekken 5

THATS WHAT CHRISTINA IS DOING IN TEKKEN 5
