SA Capoeira Foundation
Home      Home      Social Inclusion

The Foundation has always prided itself on its social inclusion projects and utilising Capoeira as a tool and catalyst for social uplifment.

This outlook not only refers to social spheres where physical assistance is required but also to potential Capoeira practitioners that do not see themsleves as being able to partake in this art due to various reasons, thereby making it accessible to everyone regardless of age, race, creed, physical capability etc.
