Kids capoeira
Capoeira is fun and eye-catching, and it's also a great tool for a child's development. It builds balance, coordination, fitness, flexibility, rhythm and body awareness.
The music helps kids feel comfortable and keen to move. Training builds self-esteem and a sense of identity, both as an individual and as part of a supportive community.
- Confidence
- Coordination
- Fitness
- Discipline & focus
- Self-defence
- Friendship
Kids classes are led by Graduado Herdeiro, our primary kids instructor, who grew up in capoeira as the son of Mestre Goioerê and Mestra Baba.
