Capoeira is Brazil’s national sport, a martial art that combines fight moves, dance, acrobatics, music and Afro-Brazilian culture. It was developed by African slave who were brought to Brazil who eventually used it to rise against their ‘lords’ and run to freedom. Capoeira is the fastest growing martial art around the world.

 Unlike many other martial arts, where the goal is to subdue your opponent, in Capoeira there are no winners or loosers. There are no points or referees. By definition, Capoeira is played, not fought or danced. This non- competitive sport is ideal for Kids teaching them flexibility, discipline, self defence and a completely new language and culture.

 The Capoeira world has something to offer everyone. One might be amazed by the high-flying acrobatics, while another might be attracted to the flexibility and control gained by the slower, graceful movements. Someone else could be fascinated by the African instruments and Brazilian music, and some might love to explore the history and culture of Capoeira and Brazil. Any way you look at it – Capoeira has something for everyone.
