Filhos de Bimba

Filhos de Bimba – Escola de Capoeira was founded on June 10, 1986 by Manoel Nascimento Machado (Mestre Nenel), the son of Mestre Bimba, the creator of Capoeira Regional, and the most influential master of Capoeira. The focus of our school is to educate, train, study, promote and help preserve the traditions and principles of Capoeira Regional and its roots in Afro-Bahian culture. Much is said today about progress and evolution, but the traditions and preservation of history is often forgotten. Learning about our past, our roots, and our ancestors provide us with ways to express ourselves in the present so that we can better shape our future. Over the years, Filhos de Bimba has expanded across the globe with various schools in Brazilian cities (Limeira SP, Ribeirão Preto SP, São José do Rio Preto, SP, MG Barbacena., Belo Horizonte MG and Jaragua do Sul SC) and to other countries such as England, Belgium, Italy, Canada, Croatia, Germany and Lebanon. The year 2022 marked the 36th anniversary of Filhos de Bimba – Escola de Capoeira. In that same year on July 9th, 2022 Detroit, MI, joins Fort Worth, TX and Bay Area, CA, and Atlanta, GA, in the FDB United States, satellite schools!
