Helsinki
The students of Capoeira Força Natural in Helsinki practice capoeira in the friendly neighbourhoods of Oulunkylä and Pihlajamäki. We practice capoeira de Angola with appropriate methods, music, acrobatics, and physical exercises. We welcome everyone without looking at age, previous sporting background, etc. Welcome!
Autumn 2024
The Monday training begins with the beginners class followed by the advanced class. Saturday training is for all levels. Here, the focus is more on the actual game of capoeira and capoeira music as well as practising the art of the roda de capoeira – the circle in which the capoeira game is played and performed. We aim to incorporate many facets of capoeira in our classes, ranging from movement to music and different aspects of Afro-Brazilian culture. The classes will be accommodated to participants' skills, and no prior experience of music or dancing is required. Come and try capoeira for free! Welcome!

Safer space principles
- We are all responsible for creating safer spaces and building trust. Actively give everyone space to be, speak, play instruments and play capoeira together. We can never fully know what others are going through, feel free to participate within your ability and however you feel best!
- Support and take care of each other and respect everyone's physical and emotional boundaries, differing perspectives and ways of being. We do not accept violence or discriminate against anybody based on skin colour, background, sexuality, age, gender, ability to function or other attributes. We do not assume anything about others from their appearance or otherwise.
- No means no – you always have the right to refuse. Sometimes refusing is difficult in the moment but you are welcome to speak to the designated contact persons.
- Please speak to the contact persons (Olli Ulkuniemi or Marjukka Huttunen) or communicate if you notice discrimination. Safer space is an ongoing learning process! Be kind to yourself and others. You can also send us an e-mail via fn.helsinki[at]gmail.com.
