I don't know of any places nearby that teach it (capoeira) though

I'm not taking it, but I know my university teaches it as a personal wellness class. Perhaps a local university offers classes to the public?
This thread is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm done with football, but I'm looking for something intense to stay in shape and relieve stress. Martial arts have always interested me, but I've always been too busy with other sports to ever get involved. The mind/body connection aspect is very important to me in looking for a style to start, almost more so than self defense (although you probably can't have one without the other). What do you ninjas recommend for this former footballer?
Edit: Found a campus Brazilian Jiu-jitzu club, but is that really the best place for a complete newbie?
