Why Train in Capoeira?

In Capoeira, students will gain martial skills improving flexibility, physical control, coordination and balance. With various movements that focuses on whole body control, students will gain fitness and strength, and learn acrobatic movements.

What makes Capoeira stand out in the martial arts sense are not only the unique movements, but also the music and cultural aspects:

• All students learn to play traditional instruments, to learn what is involved in the care and maintenance of instruments, and the rules and rituals involved in playing them.
• Students also learn the types of music, the types of rhythms, and how the rhythm of the music controls and dictates the Capoeira games.
• Students also learn to sing Capoeira songs, and know the meaning of the songs. Although students are not expected to learn to speak Portuguese, all Capoeira songs are in Portuguese, so you will find that students will pick up some of the language very quickly.
