Capoeira
Capoeira is a Brazilian self-defense sport. The training combines martial arts with music and acrobatics.
Capoeira works on motor skills and self-confidence. Anyone can learn capoeira and it is a myth that you have to be flexible.
Capoeira has brought together elements from traditional martial arts with movements from gymnastics and breakdance, among others. During training, you will learn how to anticipate incoming kicks. Will you kick back, dodge, block or collect? Acrobatic movements are used as evasion or attack. The music energises the roda (capoeira circle). During training, we also work on endurance, muscle strength and flexibility. Anyone can learn capoeira and it is a myth that you have to be limber.
