CAPOEIRA FOR KIDS

Let you kids learn the basics of this Brazilian Martial Art.

The classes are taught by an amazing teacher (Cuica), with over 10 years of experience in the education field, under the guidance with the assistance of Estivador.

We have also created an educational partnerships with some of Brazil's top childrens Capoeira instructors in order to provide new technique and systems.

Capoeira is a great way for kids to come together and kindle their physical, social, musical & creative energy whilst encouraging discipline and respect in a fun & playful environment.

The principle aspect is to play a game where the most important thing is not winning but cooperating, as the game has no winner or loser. 

With the confidence that these affirmations are true and that the richness of the practice of Capoeira helps to positively develop youth.
