GINGA 'N' ROLL
Brazilian Martial Arts

Welcome! We are the Ginga’n’Roll studio for Brazilian martial arts in Braunschweig. We stand for the highest standards, quality, hygiene, and tradition. Our coaches are native Brazilians. They will not only teach you the fighting techniques but also share with you the philosophy, discipline, values, and the fun of this art, so that the training brings real benefits beyond the mat. The family-like atmosphere in particular sets us apart from many other gyms. It is important to us that it’s not just about training, but also about our community and the intercultural exchange that brings us closer together and teaches us a lot about the world and about ourselves.

CAPOEIRA

This Brazilian martial dance is a combination of fitness, acrobatics, rhythm, and musicality. It was originally developed by African slaves in Brazil as a form of defense against oppression by large landowners. Through its history, every Capoeirista learns to keep a cool head, to stand strong together, and to see the positive things in life even during difficult times.

JIU JITSU

Jiu-Jitsu originally comes from Japan and is closely related to Judo. As a student of Jigoro Kano, Mitsuyo Maeda brought this martial art to Brazil, where it was further developed by the Gracie family and became known worldwide as BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu). This martial art is characterized by using the opponent’s strength against them and yielding at the right moment. It is always fascinating to see how a smaller person can immobilize or finish a larger, stronger, and heavier opponent using techniques such as takedowns, joint locks, and chokeholds. Today, BJJ is recognized globally by martial artists as particularly effective. This is demonstrated by its success in the largest Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) organization, the UFC. BJJ is thus considered the most effective ground-fighting technique and a proven method of self-defense. Our studio and all our coaches are officially recognized by the international Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF). This recognition ensures that we offer the highest standards in training and education and that we are always up to date on competitions as well as new rules and techniques.

CAPOEIRA

We are part of the international Capoeira family CAPOEIRA MENINO BOM, founded by our Mestre Pelezinho and four other Mestres from his homeland in Brazil.
Adults
Sometimes the world looks very different when you’re upside down. It is refreshing to change your perspective. In Capoeira training, you will discover entirely new sides of yourself and let your spirit run free. You will be introduced to fitness, acrobatics, and endurance with a lot of fun. The training literally revitalizes every corner of your body. In the roda, the circle formed during this martial dance, the focus is on community, rhythm, and improvisation.
Children
Capoeira helps children discover and express their creativity with body and soul. It promotes mobility and coordination and is simply fun. This includes movements like Cocorinha (squat), Aú (cartwheel), Bananera (handstand), and Macaco (flip from a squat), which children are introduced to through our caring training tailored to them, at their own pace.
Musicality
In Capoeira, the ginga (basic movement, pronounced 'jin-ga') sways in tune with the music, led by the Mestre on the berimbau, which accompanies every roda. Everyone sings and claps together in chorus. In addition to rhythm and Portuguese singing, you can also learn traditional dances like Maculelê, where the rhythm is accentuated by striking sticks, imitating a sword fight.

JIU JITSU

Children
Jiu-Jitsu helps children develop healthy self-confidence. It not only promotes physical motor skills but also teaches them to stay one 'move' ahead of their opponent mentally. We want to empower children to stand up for themselves and carry core values such as fair play and respect into the world. You will be amazed at how quickly these values transfer from the mat to everyday life.
Adults
We offer both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with a Gi and No-Gi training. Training with a white Gi (kimono) is the traditional form of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which we practice with great passion. It strengthens your self-confidence, reinforces values like fair play and respect for yourself and your training partners, and teaches you that losing is also part of winning. In the MMA realm, No-Gi training has become widespread, helping you effectively expand any existing martial arts skills on the ground.
Competition
Maximize your potential! We offer you individual preparation for your next challenge. Here, you will find highly ranked training partners with whom you can further refine your skills. Our competition training is tailored to your level, ensuring you are optimally prepared for your competitions.
