CTE Capoeiragem

I have been training with Mestre Dilaho and CTE Capoeiragem for over a decade. He is the "real thing." His passion for the art of Capoeira is complete and the way he teaches his classes is identical to how classes are taught in Brazil.

One of the most amazing benefits of learning from Mestre Dilaho is his truly international reputation and network of teachers. After training with Mestre Dilaho you can go anywhere in the world and have a connection with other teachers and Capoeira practitioners.

Mestre Dilaho is *great* with kids. He knows how to connect with children's inner playfulness to draw out excellent form and a sense of belonging.

Additionally, Mestre Dilaho is supported by two outstanding Jr. Instructors: Professor Pyata is an exceptional musician and a lifetime Capoeirista. Instructora Cigana has a wealth of Capoeira experience and travels regularly to national and International Capoeira "competitions. " She is extremely disciplined, competative and exhibits to best qualities of a martial artist.

My favorite place to train in Portland and some of the best events. Great children’s classes too.

CTE Capoeira Portland is the best. You get quality instruction from an experienced Mestre with a long history in Brazil. I always leave feeling like I've worked hard, learned a lot and am ready for more!! If you are looking for a great kid's program look no more. Mestre Dilaho teaches kids in schools around Portland and his kid's class is a great way for children to explore their creativity, learn discipline and develop healthy lifestyles!
