Capoeira Academy UK is run by Professor Bombril and is part of Capoeira Muzenza, one of the world’s largest Capoeira organisations.
On this website you can find information about the work of our Charity and its educational projects with children and young people.
Edgar is the founder of our team, having started capoeira in Albufeira Portugal in 1994 following inspiration from the movie Only the Strong.
He moved to London in 2003 to continue the work of his teacher, Mestre Namorado and set up BRILHO, a charity dedicated to making capoeira accessible the children of all socioeconomic backgrounds across London. He is well known for his objective capoeira game and competition success; Professor Bombril is the first back to back two times European Champion and is always on the podium.
