Sami Hamed: Ginga Flow & Conquering and Surrendering Space

Sami Hamed brings 27 years of Capoeira practice to the Movement Flow Fest, teaching two distinct workshops rooted in the Afro-Brazilian martial art tradition. A licensed fitness trainer based in Frankfurt, Hamed structures movement around principles of weight distribution, mobility, and coordination, weaving in hand balancing, floor work, and soft acrobatics. His teaching philosophy centers movement within rhythm and collective play, developing both physical capacity and relational awareness. The workshops emphasize that flow emerges from stability, and that engaging with others creates vital, unpredictable dialogue. Hamed's approach is neither combative nor goal-oriented, but rather collaborative—exploring how taking space and yielding space generate continuous, interesting movement exchanges.
