Teachers
Our teachers are passionate about their work. We understand that no two bodies are alike and will work with you at your own pace.
Professor Chipa
Founder of Axé Oakland.
Chipa Leads & Directs ALL capoeira classes at Axé.
“I have been a student of capoeira for 29 years and have been teaching for 20 years. I love sharing my knowledge of my culture and history through capoeira to children and adults.
I provide an exciting and high-energy class that facilitates improvement in coordination, endurance, memory, balance, music, language, core strength, and flexibility. I specialize in youth and adult classes starting at age 3. Capoeira is a fun and unique way to explore your body’s abilities.”
