What is capoeira?
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form combining elements of body movement, martial arts, music, tradition, and popular culture.
Mestre Lobinho
Fabio Cosmo da Cunha, known in the capoeira world as “Mestre Lobinho” began training in 1998 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Lobinho has been teaching in the Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti areas of Michigan for 8 years. Lobinho has taught kids programs from ages 2 to 18, adults, and specializes in persons with disabilities.
As a young boy, he was a student at a non-profit in Brazil to help underprivileged kids in the community. Coordinated by his teacher and under his guidance, Lobinho had the opportunity to train and participate in many capoeira events around the world and is well known across the globe.
By the time Lobinho was 16, he was already teaching classes to other adults. When he was 18, he worked in local preschools teaching capoeira full-time in Brazil.
Lobinho has extensive knowledge of capoeira and is a wonderful teacher for persons of all ages.
