Capoeira for Children

Picture
Capoeira is an excellent activity for children of all ages.  It is an exciting and engaging activity, as it uniquely integrates martial arts, self defense, music, dance, and acrobatics. The benefits of training capoeira as a child are numerous.  Below are some important benefits that children experience through capoeira.

  • increased coordination and body awareness
  • flexibility and muscle development
  • internalization of the importance of healthy habits and attitudes
  • increased confidence
  • experience learning an additional language (Portuguese)
  • training playing musical instruments
  • learning the skills of cooperation and leadership
  • development of discipline and respect
  • self-defense skills
  • an outlet for self-expression through a truly unique art

All Children Have Inner Excellence Via Empowerment (ACHIEVE) through Capoeira is something we strongly believe in.  In addition to the many benefits that go hand-in-hand with capoeira training, children who are part of our ACHIEVE program will also receive special development and training in important values and virtues, such as:

  • Respect
  • Leadership
  • Goal-setting
  • Cooperation and Team Work
  • Integrity
  • Persistence

ACHIEVE students will take part in a class-to-class goal-setting project for which students help to set their own capoeira goals- which go hand in hand with the development of key virtues both in capoeira and outside of class at home and at school.  Students have the ability to progress through different steps and earn recognition for healthy choices and attitudes. 

Please inquire for more information on joining ACHIEVE through Capoeira!
