What is Capoeira?
Capoeira is a unique physical activity that combines elements of martial arts, dance, and music. It is a full-body workout that involves a variety of movements and techniques, including kicks, dodges, and soft acrobatics.
Why Capoeira?
There are hundreds of physical activities for people to choose from, so why should you choose capoeira over others?
One reason to choose capoeira over other physical activities is that it is highly adaptable and can be modified to suit people of different fitness levels and abilities.
It is also a low-impact activity, which means that it is less likely to cause strain or injury to the joints.
In addition to the physical benefits of capoeira, it is also a great way to improve mental and emotional well-being. The practice of capoeira requires focus, concentration, and mindfulness, which can help to reduce stress and increase feelings of relaxation and well-being.
Capoeira is also a social activity that is practiced in a group setting. This can be a great way to meet new people and build a sense of community.
Overall, capoeira is a fun and challenging physical activity that offers a wide range of benefits for the mind and body.
What To Expect From The Intro Class?
The first and most important thing you should expect is to have fun!
Our Class will start with an introduction and a short explanation of the origins of Capoeira.
Followed by a fun warm-up and some Jungle training movements.
We then will learn some of the basic martial art moves, kicks, and escapes that will lead us into the partner work to learn how to play a Capoeira Game.
After that, we will learn some soft acrobatics that is suitable for all levels and experiences.
Once we complete all of the above, you will know how to play a capoeira game and get a chance to play a real capoeira game.
To wrap it up, we will learn some of the music history and experience the fantastic Axé that Capoeira creates!
Capoeira provides cardiovascular, strength, and flexibility training, all of which are essential for overall health. When training capoeira you will use muscle groups that you may never have trained before so after training for the first time you can expect to be a bit sore. :)
Experience Needed?
I have never done martial arts or dance, can I still participate?
