Oxossi Capoeira Malta
Capoeira Oxossi is a vibrant and growing Capoeira school in Malta, founded in 2023 by Instrutor Tartaruga. With a deep passion for Capoeira and years of experience, he established the school with the vision of creating a strong and welcoming community for both children and adults.
At Capoeira Oxossi, students learn not just the physical movements of Capoeira—including kicks, acrobatics, and flowing sequences—but also its rich history, music, and cultural significance. The school embraces the essence of Capoeira as both a martial art and an artistic expression, blending self-defense, dance, and rhythm in a dynamic and engaging way.

'Tartaruga Ninja' Manuel PerroneI began Capoeira in 2013 at a school near my home in Milan with an instructor named Massimo. After three months, I met my master, Mestre Tarzam, through Massimo. Shortly after, despite the distance (40 km), I began taking courses under his guidance.
I was given the name 'Tartaruga Ninja' by Mestre Tarzam, and I am now an instructor of this art. I moved to Malta two years ago and would like to share the knowledge of Capoeira that my master has passed on to me over the years and to create a community of sharing and common growth like the one I have experienced. |
Oxossi Capoeira around the World
Mestre Índio founded Capoeira Oxossi in Bahia, Brazil, and is known for his dedication to Capoeira de Rua — a raw, authentic style that is rooted in the streets, and which emphasises spontaneity, strategy, and tradition.
A master of both Capoeira Angola and Regional, Mestre Índio teaches discipline, respect, and cultural heritage through the jogo (game). His legacy continues through his students, including Mestre Tarzan, who trained Instrutor Tartaruga, who is now leading Capoeira Oxossi Malta.
Today, Capoeira Oxossi thrives internationally, with schools in Brazil, France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Malta, keeping Mestre Índio’s vision alive through movement, music, and community.
