Oxford Capoeira Society is a capoeira school of Angoleiros do Mar, teaching the Afro-Brazilian practice of Capoeira Angola.
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian movement practice, combining martial arts with dance and music in flowing, expressive games. We provide 3 adult classes per week, including mixed level classes at Jericho Community Centre in Oxford on Tuesdays between 6:30 and 8.30pm. Follow us on Instagram, email or message us on WhatsApp for more information on our classes and events.
Where the name Jericho comes from?
The name Jericho is probably taken from the parable of the Good Samaritan. Traditionally the name was given to places where travellers who arrived after the town gates had closed at sunset could find lodgings overnight.
Where the community centre came from?
The centre was built at the end of the 19th century as the Church Institute for St. Barnabas.
