What Makes Our Kids Capoeira Program Unique?
Capoeira Maculele Academy was founded to help kids to thrive. By cultivating a family atmosphere where kids as young as three years old can begin learning the specialized art of Capoeira, we hope to instill confidence, discipline, and teamwork skills in each and every student. Our Kids Capoeira classes are designed to help students overcome obstacles and be goal-oriented in every aspect of life. They discover that the skills they gain and the lessons they learn through their martial arts training will help them do more than become bullyproof — they’ll glean insights that will help them launch successful careers, form better relationships, and manage their emotions in healthier ways.



Help your kid break away from the allure of smartphones and TV screens. Our classes engage children in an enjoyable way, so they get excited about learning and discipline. We believe that discipline shouldn’t be something kids dread – it should be fun! Our team at Capoeira Decatur Academy is here to help your child achieve incredible things. By providing a structured and supportive environment, introducing them to lifelong fitness, and showing every student their unlimited potential, our Kids Capoeira classes are built to promote success in students across Decatur and Atlanta area.

Your Child Will Grow With Every Class!
Children are like sponges. They absorb things quickly and easily far more easily than we do as adults. In fact, parents can sometimes see a difference in their kids after just one martial arts class. Each additional class they attend increases their knowledge and growth.
Not only are they getting healthier as they learn capoeira, they’re also learning the value of self-discipline and respect. When you enroll your child at Capoeira Maculele Atlanta, you’re giving them much more than the physical skills we teach. You’re giving them the opportunity to thrive.
