Born from Resilience. Built with Purpose.

Capoeira in Motion was born during one of the most transformative moments in founder Caline Cezimbra's life.

Today, Capoeira in Motion is not just for capoeiristas. It's for dancers, runners, gym lovers, and anyone who believes that movement is part of their identity.

Because life is too short to wear boring clothes.

Before It Was a Brand, It Was a Story

My name is Caline Cezimbra, also known in the Capoeira world as Professora Areia. My father, Mestre Marinaldo Esporão, is a Capoeira Mestre, and because of him Capoeira was never something I discovered later in life it was already part of my world. The sound of the berimbau, the rhythm of the songs, the movement of the roda that was the atmosphere I grew up in.

From Capoeira I learned one of the most powerful lessons about life: movement. In Capoeira you fall, you adapt, you escape, and you return to the game. That philosophy stayed with me throughout my life.

Built on Love, Forged by Resilience

My mother always believed in me and supported my journey. Even when the path was not clear, she reminded me that courage and faith walk together. My sister has been part of this journey beside me she represents partnership, family strength, and the courage to believe in something that begins only as an idea.

My daughter represents the future and reminds me every day that what we build today can inspire the next generation of strong women. And my son, who is autistic, has taught me one of the deepest lessons about life: that strength comes in many forms. Through him I learned patience, compassion, and a different way of seeing the world.

When Life Changes the Rhythm

In April 2025 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer During this deeply transformative period of my life, I began asking myself important questions. What do we leave behind? What can we create that carries meaning beyond a single moment?

And that is when I realised something very simple but very powerful: Capoeira is not just something we practice Capoeira is something we carry. It lives in the way we move through life, in the way we resist, the way we adapt, and the way we rise again.

"Life will test you. There will be moments when the rhythm changes. But Capoeira teaches us something beautiful you don't stop. You adjust the rhythm. You find your balance. And you keep moving."

More Than Gym Wear. It's a Movement.

Capoeira in Motion was created not only for Capoeira practitioners, but for dancers, runners, athletes, and anyone who believes that movement is part of their identity. Alongside my cultural journey, I completed a bachelor's degree in Business and Marketing and a Master degree in International Marketing, that experience helped me transform a vision into structure and passion into a brand.

Today, Capoeira in Motion represents culture, resilience, and identity. Every piece we create carries the spirit of Capoeira the reminder that even when life brings storms, we continue to move.

Because those who carry axé never stop the ginga.
