Filhos de Bimba Logo
Filhos de Bimba (meaning sons, or descendants of Bimba) is the entity responsible for perpetuating the legacy left by Mestre Bimba and his Capoeira principles and philosophy.

Based in Salvador de Bahia it has several nucleii outside of Brazil, including Professor Bocao's class in Newcastle upon Tyne.

It is different from almost all other Capoeira styles in that it is completely true to the Capoeira Regional that Mestre Bimba created. This is achieved by following Bimba's structured teaching methods exactly. Indeed, many of the Mestres in Filhos de Bimba had their capoeira graduation under Mestre Bimba, and Filhos de Bimba still contains many of Bimba's family such as Mestre Nenel (son), and D.Navinha (Bimba's) daughter.

Following these and other rules Bimba had, such as not letting your head touch the ground (as he believed this was degrading), as well as always staying very close to your opponant (the closer the better!), Filhos de Bimba strives to offer the same benefits Mestre Bimba always promoted and is keeping Capoeira Regional alive and updated .
