Duration: 1 hour; Free. In November 2014, capoeira was granted a special protected status as "intangible cultural heritage" by UNESCO. How cool would it be to be part of a tradition that started in the 16th century? In this beginner class, you'll learn the basics of a martial art that uses power, speed, and leverage to execute quick kicks and spins. You will get stronger, more flexible, and gain agility. But those are just the physical benefits of training Capoeira -- there's much more! You will also gain confidence, learn about another culture, meet people from all different types of backgrounds, and join a community of motivated people! Plus, given that those who train Capoeira normally live well into their 80s and 90s, this sport is known to improve longevity. It is a life-long practice that keeps you young physically -- and young at heart as well! So get down to The Brazilian Capoeira Academy and come kick it with this fantastic, traditional art.
