How long does it take to learn Capoeira?

Answer 1

Both the simple and the hard answer is a lifetime.  Capoeria, martial arts etc are not something one will ever completely master.  The basics you can learn easily, it's what lies underneath that is the hard part.  

Besides anything else, don't worry about how long it takes, enjoy the journey.
