About Kilimobo Novo!
Kilombo Novo is a community of people that study the Afro-Brazilian martial art called Capoeira Angola. This family of community members and professionals seeks to reduce urban violence, trauma, and loss caused by poverty and living in disenfranchised neighborhoods who face racism, classism, access to deadly weapons and drugs, negative images in the media, and STD's. The Capoeira Angola programs provides not only discipline, but tools for urban youth as well as community to function as a healthy society physically, mentally, and spiritually through the philosophy, practice, and history of Capoeira Angola's indigenous knowledge and wisdom.
