Capoeira Resistencia first began in 2008 at Wellington’s Victoria University Recreation centre with only a few core members.

Slowly the club grew and ,eventually, we had our very own training room at Club Physical on James Smiths corner where regular classes continued until a relocation in early 2010 saw a move to a more upmarket training environment in Plimmer Towers, Lambton Quay.

Some of the core members still train today along with additional students which continue under the guidance of Mestre Bira and advanced members.

Regular classes are now based at the BUC gym in Plimmer Towers off Lambton Quay and Victoria University,Kelburn, Recreation centre. See the ‘Classes’ page for more info.
