Capoeira Lessons

Small Group and Private Capoiera Lessons

Capoeira is a martial art disguised as a dance developed in Brazil during the 16th century that combines acrobatics, rhythm, music, and self-defense techniques.

It is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that includes powerful kicks and hand strikes, agile evasive maneuvers, coordinated attacks, and defensive strategies in a fluid, graceful, and often improvised way. The music and movement of the game creates a type of physical dialogue between the players.

Capoeira is a martial art that combines elements of folk dance, acrobatics and music. The art originated in Brazil in the 16th century as a way for slaves and subsequent freedmen to disguise their self-defense training as a dance. Performing circular movements, often combined with beautiful music, capoeira has become a symbolic expression of freedom. The main objectives of capoeira are to build physical strength, improve coordination and reflexes, and to increase self-confidence.

Capoeira practitioners are also taught to remain aware of their opponents in order to predict their actions and respond accordingly. The game is usually accompanied by a roda, a circle of people singing and playing instrumental music, as well as by calls from two participants and improvisation from the others.

Fitness – It is a dynamic workout that combines fast-paced movements in a variety of positions and angles to condition the body, build cardiovascular strength, and increase flexibility and coordination.

It is an excellent way to improve balance, agility, strength and reflexes, as well as an excellent way to improve general fitness.
