Connection is everything
I started in 2001 with Professor Floris, after one year we became Grupo Balança from Mestre Valú. After 4,5 year I met Mestre Grandão and CM Baianinho from Capoeira Engenho in Salvador/Brazil. The world of capoeira opened up for me with games like Tico-Tico, Capoeira Angola, and a creative swing in the roda. We worked together for 8 years, in 2011 I founded Brincadeira de Capoeira Den Haag. In Australië and The Netherlands I have also trained Capoeira Angola; which also led to confusion: how to teach all these different moves and styles to my students? The answer is KAHPU Training Method, based on principles, step by step techniques and guided improvisation. Currently, April 2026, I am finishing my book about this training system. Book your try-out capoeira class now, and experience JOY in your body (and mind!)
KAHPU TRAINING
Improve your capoeira. Connect & Play.
Introductie
A step-by-step capoeira training system that helps you discover, create, and develop your capoeira game. KAHPU Training is based on principles, making it suitable for every capoeira style. Movements, drills, and exercises can be adapted to your preferences and style.
KAHPU YOGA & WALKS
KAHPU Yoga consists of static and short dynamic movements, based on yoga and capoeira. KAHPU Walks are animal movements and capoeira walking patterns that stimulate your coordination, flexibility, and applied strength for your capoeira game.
GINGA FLOW
This is the foundation of your capoeira game. It is a combination of basic capoeira techniques, plus jogo de corpo (body play) and feints to confuse your partner. It is also a conditioning training that combines structure and improvisation. All of this comes together in short sequences divided into four levels. This is how you create your own game foundation.
GAME TECHNIQUES
A selection of defenses, kicks, floreios, takedowns, and sequences that you can add to your GINGA Flow. Through a step-by-step progression, you improve your techniques and your body gradually builds up for more advanced movements.
KAHPU MINDSET
A selection of effective, positive thoughts that have proven to deliver great results. The top 7 KAHPU mindset principles are: 1. Accept your “now”, 2. Enjoy the process, 3. Focus on what you love, 4. You vs You, 5. Step by step, 6. Keep it simple, 7. Connect & Play

Capoeira is fun! Capoeira is a game and an art that enriches my life. Capoeira is everything: sport, dance, fitness, martial art, philosophy, people, music, culture…

The group is very open and friendly. Everyone is equal, regardless of physical or musical level, which allows you to get the most out of yourself. And maybe most importantly, the trainers Vitamina and Lobo Manso stimulate everyone’s personal experience of capoeira for optimal joy and growth!

Before class I’m always happy and excited, and after class even more! The first weeks of capoeira training were an amazing experience for me. I learned kicks while moving freely and jumping around! I feel energized when I play together with my partner—very special. After class we have a drink, chat, and laugh! This social aspect makes it even more fun. Keeps us connected ;-)

Capoeira is effort for my body and relaxation for my mind. I get a lot of energy from the game, the music, and the naturally relaxed vibe of this group. In 4 years I’ve improved tremendously: I’ve become physically fitter and, thanks to the many aspects of capoeira, much stronger and happier as a person. Thank you, capoeira.
