I'm one of the senior students at Axé Maryland and have been training under Instructor Bayu since 2012. Training at Axé Maryland has been very rewarding to me physically and mentally as well as challenging in those capacities as Capoeira demands keen fitness and strong coordination to follow complex techniques and rhythm. In my case, the group was very patient with me and brought forth a variety of approaches to help me hard-wire essential fundamentals for my development in Capoeira, constantly provides feedback to enable proper technique and growth in what is being taught, and is very approachable to seek guidance in learning something new. What I find unique about Axé Maryland is the level of commitment each takes in helping another.
Bayu is a very supportive teacher who teaches you not only how to move, but how to think like a martial artist. He also encourages his students of all levels to travel to competitions and Batizados and grow through the challenge of playing and sparring with different Capoeiristas.
Bayu Wicaksono is a great leader for Capoeira enthusiasts both experienced and novice in the Maryland region.
I was a first time capoeira student. Bayu is an excellent, consistent teacher and mentor who is able to manage a full classroom where students are at various skill levels.
As a student of Axé Capoeira for some time I can definitely say it was an invigorating experience to say the least. A great work out coupled with great peers and instructors who all want to learn from each other!
Excellent teacher and students. I felt accepted as a new student and always had fun.
