Capitao Capoeira

When doing Capoeira, the practitioner uses mainly his power, speed and leverage in every kick, spin and highly mobile move. It requires strength and flexibility to do its quick and complex routines. There is no wonder how capoeiristas are quite healthy and fit.

Capoeira Helps With Stress Relief

Capoeira Helps With Weight Loss

It helps in weight loss. Capoeira is an intense workout. It involves leg sweeps, lunges, head kicks and elbow movements that will truly whip you into sweating off those excess fats and give you the toned core you have always wanted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Capoeira better than other martial arts?

All martial arts differ from each other and have advantages and disadvantages. The question is not whether one is better than the other, but which one is suitable for your needs.

Is capoeira a martial art form or a dance form?

Capoeira was traditionally a martial art disguised as a dance, so it has aspects of both. Some people prefer to concentrate on the dance and acrobatic elements, while others prefer the martial arts elements.

Can anybody train capoeira?

There’s a lot to learn in capoeira! It’s like taking a martial arts class, a dance class, a gymnastics class and a music class all at once. Every new student can expect to be good as some parts of class and be challenged by others.

What if I've never done capoeira before?

You have to start somewhere. We start by teaching you the basic movements and you take it from there.

What if I am not flexible or in the best physical condition?

Don't let this discourage you! Capoeira is for everyone - young or old, short or tall, girl or boy! Of course, the more you train, the faster you will see results!
