ABOUT US
An academy for everyone, in the heart of Mississauga
Zero Gravity Martial Arts & Fitness has been part of the Mississauga community since 2011. What started as a passion for Capoeira and movement has grown into a 6,000 sq ft academy with four training spaces and a gym area — two squat racks, free weights, treadmill and bike — programs for ages 3 to adult, and a community that welcomes absolutely everyone.
We believe martial arts should be welcoming, not intimidating. Every class here is beginner friendly, every coach works with you from the ground up, and every student — from Little Warriors to lifelong martial artists — trains side by side.
Home to Capoeira Bamba Mississauga, our signature Capoeira program connects students to the music, culture and community of this unique Brazilian art — including events and workshops with teachers from around the world. Capoeira Bamba was founded by Marcos Martins, who leads the group internationally.
