Welcome to Kubata da Capoeira Antiga
The UK’s only school dedicated to Capoeira Antiga — where tradition, rhythm, and community come together.

What is Capoeira Antiga?
Capoeira Antiga is a traditional style of capoeira that focuses on:

Movement, strategy and flow instead of flashy acrobatics
Rhythm, song, and ritual connection
Preserving the authentic spirit of Africa and Brazil

Our Name: Kubata
“Kubata” comes from Kimbundu (an ancient Angolan language) meaning “house” or “home.”
It reflects both the African roots of Capoeira and the sense of belonging we create in every class and roda.
