You: My wrists are sore from yesterday's ground work. Can you take the hand-loaded moves out of today?
Your coach: Done. Today's wrist push-ups and plank shoulder taps are off, and the grip work goes too: glute bridges for the single-leg deadlifts and dead bugs for the carries.

The problem

Why generic routines miss the mark

01

Rushing the acrobatics

Most routines skip straight to the floreios. This coach builds your base first: wrist preparation and cossack squats on strength day, and an au that starts from a low box.

02

Ignoring the rhythm

Capoeira is a conversation, not just a set of reps. Generic plans give you a list of kicks without teaching you how to step and move to the toque.

03

Overtraining the joints

Constant ground work loads your wrists and shoulders heavily. Without programmed deloads and proper joint preparation, fatigue builds up and forces you to stop training entirely.

The method

How your coach programs capoeira

01

Foundation before flight

Ginga and the escapes come first, then meia lua and queixada, each paired with an esquiva. The au starts from a low box, with wrist work on strength day.

RuleEvery kick drill is paired with the escape that answers it.

02

Programmed recovery

Ground movements demand a lot from your wrists and shoulders. Your plan schedules lighter weeks to manage fatigue and keep your joints prepared for training.

RuleDrops volume every four weeks or if fatigue stays high.

03

Brazilian eating pattern

Your nutrition plan features exactly 4 meals a day. It follows a traditional structure with a substantial lunch, a lighter dinner, and fruit for snacks.

RulePrograms 4 meals daily with a protein target scaled to bodyweight.

04

Adapts to your energy

The plan adjusts to your real life. It reads your sleep and resting heart rate data to scale down today's session when recovery is low.

RuleLowers today's session intensity if your sleep or recovery drops.

Your week

A typical week of training

Sessions run 20 to 50 minutes. Ask your coach in chat to move one when your week changes.

Built to adapt

A plan that moves when your week does.

It reads your recovery

Connect Apple Health or Health Connect. When sleep, HRV or resting heart rate say you are under-recovered, today's session gets lighter. Planned deloads follow your coach's schedule, and you can ask for one in chat.

Chat that changes the plan

Travelling, sore, short on time, missed a meal: tell your coach at any hour. It rebuilds the week or re-portions the day, and confirms the change in chat.

Check-ins it acts on

Daily check-ins and progress photos go to your coach, and your plan is adjusted from what actually happened, not what was scheduled.

Questions

Straight answers.

Something else? Ask your coach in chat once you are in. It answers at any hour.

Do I need an open space to train?

You need room to step side to side in the ginga, swing a leg for kicks and, for the au, about a cartwheel's width. Your coach asks about your floor and space when you first chat.

I have never done a martial art before. Is this too advanced?

No. Every session starts from the ginga, week one pairs each kick with an escape, and the au starts from a low box. Handstands, macaco and queda de rins are not in the plan.

What if my wrists are not used to ground work?

Your coach programs specific wrist preparation exercises and cossack squats to build joint capacity. If you feel discomfort, you can message the chat to swap exercises while you consult your clinician.

How long are the daily sessions?

Sessions take 20 to 50 minutes to complete. You train four days a week, leaving plenty of time for active recovery, mobility, and rest days.

Do I need to follow a strict diet?

Your coach provides a traditional Brazilian nutrition pattern featuring 4 meals a day. It includes a substantial lunch, a lighter dinner, and a daily protein target scaled to your bodyweight.
