    Capoeira Basics (First Time Students Only)

    Capoeira (pronounced ka-poo-eyh-da) is an Afro-Brazilian martial art self-defense form that incorporates acrobatics, dance, percussion, and songs in a rhythmic dialogue of body, mind, and spirit. It is a communal game in which two opponents play each other inside a circle, formed by the other players who create rhythm for the game by clapping, singing and playing traditional instruments. During this class, you'll learn basic Capoeira movements, such as camouflaging self-defense kicks with playful acrobatics and dance-like moves, in order to spontaneously create strategies to fool and catch your opponent off guard. Enjoy a fun alternative workout to your typical jog in a welcoming environment, and leave with practical knowledge of self-defense skills that may very well come in handy some day!

    Intro to Capoeira (New Style Motherlode Studio)

    Capoeira looks like a graceful dance, but don't be fooled! It is also a dangerous martial art form that can come in handy when you find yourself in a precarious situation. Interestingly, capoeira originated in 1600s Brazil and was developed by African slaves working on sugarcane plantations.

This form requires strong aerobic skills, including flexibility and endurance. You will improve your sense of balance and your overall body strength simultaneously. Revitalize your everyday life with the graceful but powerful movements of capoeira.
