Capoeira Volta Ao Mundo was founded in 1996 by Mestre Rony Costa. The group has expanded over time, with schools in Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Tampa, Tallahassee and Miami in Florida alone, as well as schools in Springfield, IL, Lexington and Louisville, KY, Boston, MA, Aguascalientes, Mexico, and St. Louis, MO.

Our most notable accomplishment is the creation of CapoKids, a full time preschool and afterschool program with three locations in the Sarasota area. With these included, we offer classes both for 3 year olds and 63 year olds. Capoeira VAM is a community for all ages.

Testimonials

I go here with my wife and both of my kids and we love it. They offered me a way to drastically improve my health and connect with my children not to mention have a lot of fun. The quality of the teachers is exceptional and they connect you to a supportive, welcoming and happy Capoeira community. I highly recommend giving them a go!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about capovam. Both of my children started capoeira with the after school class and eventually I started adult classes as well.
Very welcoming instructors that are patient with all skill levels and always willing to go the extra mile if you need help.
Absolutely wonderful with my kids, . They keep it fun while teaching music, martial arts, and even some Portuguese.
You wont regret having you kids enrolled or taking the adult classes.
