ICAF-Baltimore has been in existence for 5 years as a satellite of ICAF-DC, which is the Headquarters for the International Capoeira Angola Foundation. ICAF has chapters in Brazil (Salvador, Rio De Janiero and Belo Horizonte), Oakland (our West Coast Head Branch and home of Mestre Jurandir, one of our Mestres), New Orleans, Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin, Philadelphia, and Middletown, Connecticut. We have affiliates and contacts in other nations as well. You can see the complete list on our parent site, http://www.capoeira-angola.org.
There is a wealth of information regarding Capoeira that is available on the web, but the best way to learn Capoeira is to JOGO (to play)! So we hope to see you in class or at the Roda!
