Capoeira is a Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines self-defense, acrobatics, dance-like moves, music, and a lot of playful energy--which is why kids love it.  Parents love capoeira because it is a dynamic tool to channel energy and and nurture the athletic, artistic, and personal development of their child.

Capoeira is active and energetic, musical and artistic, serious and funny, and requires focus and awareness.  Classes will keep your child physically fit and mentally engaged.  Students develop self-defense, artistic, and life skills that teach:

DISCIPLINE - RESPECT - SELF CONFIDENCE
BALANCE - COORDINATION - RHYTHM
AGILITY - CREATIVITY - FLEXIBILILTY

Through fun games, drills, and exercises, children learn to “play capoeira” with an understanding of limits and respect for each other.   Students learn:  

v     Fundamentals—Ginga & Aú (cartwheel)
v     Attack and Defense Movements
v     Stretching Techniques
v     Tumbling/Acrobatics
v     Focus and Awareness
v     Etiquette and Tradition
v     Sing in Portuguese/Play Instruments
