Mendoza decided to start the organization in order to offer a lower rate to those interested in practicing the art. The club offers classes every Friday from 5:30 p.m. to 7: 30 p.m. at Spartan Complex East, room 89. SJSU students are offered a rate of $5 per class, and non-students pay $7 per class. For $40, SJSU students can attend classes for the whole semester. According to Mendoza, other capoeira schools around the Bay Area charge $12-$14 for each class. Since beginning in Fall 2003, the club has grown from about six to eight attendees per meeting to a regular crowd of about 20, Mendoza estimated. Jeremy Balcazar, an instructor at Capoeira of San Jose Susan D. Reno / Daily Staff who participates with the capoeira club, said capoeira was developed in Brazil about 500 years ago. Members of the capoeira club form a roda, or circle, at a club practice Friday evening in the Spartan Complex. African slaves in Brazil would practice the martial art, While music is being played at the foot of the roda, players enter the circle in pairs and perform acrobatic mimicking a dance in order to fool the slave owners, “so the capoeira moves. slave masters wouldn’t see what they were doing and tell them to stop doing it,” he said.
