Stress Reduction: A regular capoeira practice does wonders for relaxing the mind and body. Any capoeirista can attest to the dramatic shift in attitude before and after class.

Strength: Capoeiristas are always moving around on their hands in handstands, poses, etc. This makes a marked improvement on upper body strength.

This, combined with repetition of movements and techniques, makes capoeira a valuable cardio exercise!

At the same time, you will gain the ability to do things that most of the general public could never dream of. And in doing so, you will discover a true sense of uniqueness.

As an adult, making new friends outside of work can be difficult. Taking a class is one way to connect with people who share a common interest.
