# Capoeira Angola OGUM UK - Lancaster
Capoeira Angola OGUM UK brings authentic Brazilian martial arts and cultural education to Lancaster. Founded by Mestre Carcara' in Naples in 2000, the organisation has spent over two decades promoting Afro-Brazilian culture from north-east Brazil. Now established in Lancaster since December 2023 under Instrutor Fujão's leadership, they offer classes rooted in genuine traditional capoeira training.
The business serves adults and children seeking to learn capoeira angola, the slower, more strategic form of this Brazilian martial art. They also cater to those interested in broader Afro-Brazilian cultural experiences. Their clientele includes fitness enthusiasts, cultural learners, families, and community groups seeking educational programmes.
What distinguishes Capoeira Angola OGUM is their lineage and authenticity. Mestre Carcara' trained under Jose' Gabriel Goes (Mestre Gato Preto), recognised as one of Brazil's greatest capoeira masters. The group operates as an officially registered cultural and ethnic association, having proven their commitment to education and community development throughout Italy and Spain. Rather than offering commercialised versions of capoeira, they deliver traditional instruction informed by decades of experience using capoeira as an educational tool in at-risk communities.
Their inaugural Lancaster workshop in March 2026 features Mestre Carcara' leading intensive classes, a public masterclass, and the area's first official OGUM roda (circle). This demonstrates their intention to establish a serious, culturally grounded capoeira community rather than a casual fitness franchise.
