Description
Discover the rich legacy of Capoeira Angola!
Originating as an African-Brazilian martial art form, Capoeira was created by enslaved Africans in Brazil as a means of self-defense and cultural expression. Sometimes we call it "African Karate" to teach people quickly what it is like, but it is much more. It's a harmonious blend of martial arts, dance, acrobatics, music, community and language. And it increases agility, strength, confidence, and mental awareness.
Delve into an art that is deeply rooted in resistance and resilience, where every move narrates a story of its people. As students embrace the techniques, they also immerse themselves in a profound appreciation for the ancestors, customs, and masters of Capoeira. The dedication you pour into the Capoeira journey of self-discovery is returned exponentially through your growth and the potential you unlock within yourself.
Our Capoeira program for kids revolves around key principles: focus, discipline, respect, achievement, community, and leadership. It's more than just an extracurricular activity; it's an exploration of cultural heritage and self-empowerment. Let your child experience the thrill of unique, dynamic movements while imbibing timeless values that will shape them into mindful and spirited individuals.
