About the class
Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art disguised as a dance and performed to musical instruments and traditional Brazilian songs. It is comprised of specific offensive and defensive movements and, unlike in other martial arts, the participant is constantly in motion because of the basic movement, the ginga.
The movements also consist of positions on the ground, kicks, sweeps and acrobatics.
Capoeira is a fast and versatile martial art that is historically focused on fighting outnumbered or in technological disadvantage. The ginga (literally: rocking back and forth; to swing) is the fundamental movement in capoeira, important both for attack and defense purposes. It has two main objectives.
During the classes we will do a warm up and stretch the body and learn all about the basic move ginga and many other Capoeira moves. At the end of every lesson we will play the game of Capoeira together.
Diego will teach you the names of all the instruments aswell as how to play them, you will learn many Capoeira songs and sing them together.
Capoeira is much more than a dance or a martial art, its about music, singing and being together as a community.
Children and adults are all welcome, classes are mixed.
