Today, our families have so many choices when it comes to extracurricular activities that it can become overwhelming. From team sports to music and swimming to art lessons, our marketplace is full of options for a family looking to enrich their child’s education and life experience. Parents and children alike may have a tough time choosing extracurricular activities, but they don’t need to. 

Families only really have a few core things to consider when choosing an extracurricular activity. What will their child gain from participation?  How much time is required? What is the cost?  It is rare for an activity to include a variety of diverse benefits while favorably satisfying these core components. Capoeira is one of the few activities that achieve this. 

Capoeira (pronounced cap-o-way-da) is a high energy Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines self-defense techniques, acrobatics, music, dance, and culture! There are numerous reasons why Capoeira is an excellent extra curricular activity.

In Conclusion
Kids are naturally drawn to Capoeira because of its rhythmic music, exciting interactions, and acrobatics.  Kids love things that are exciting and dynamic. Capoeira has that covered! Once a child is exposed to what Capoeira is, they eagerly step up for the challenge of learning the movements, the music, and the elements that make Capoeira what it is.  

On a personal note to you, the parent, we are parents too. We understand how much love you have for your child and how you want only the best out of life for your child. We use Capoeira as a catalyst to help instill the values that make your child the best he or she can be. We are here to work on the future and make it bright. Like the old proverb states, It takes a village to raise a child, and here at Capoera Maculele Decatur Academy we want to be a big part of that village.
