Our story
Born from resilience. Built with purpose.
Capoeira in Motion was not born in a boardroom. It was born in a hospital corridor, between treatments, when standing up was its own act of resistance.
In 2025, founder Caline Cezimbra | known on the roda as Professora Areia | was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Most people would have stopped moving. She did the opposite. She launched a brand.
Capoeira teaches a quiet truth: the ginga never stops. You absorb the blow and you keep swaying. You don't break — you adapt, and you come back stronger than before. That is not just resilience. That is antifragility | the rare quality of being made stronger by what tried to break you. Caline lives it. The brand carries it.
Every tank top, every abadá, every hoodie is cut from that same fabric of meaning. When you wear Capoeira in Motion, you wear a reminder that movement is a choice, that showing up is the win, and that the people who refuse to be stopped end up moving everyone else with them.
Designed in London. Built for capoeiristas, dancers, runners, athletes | for anyone who believes that what tries to stop you only teaches you a new way to ginga.
