Brazilian Capoeira has found its way to Utah!

Capoeira [pronounced kap-oh-air-uh] is a unique Brazilian art form. Brazilian Capoeira combines martial arts, dance, music, and acrobatics. The result is a unique, interesting and entertaining style of martial art.

Capoeira may have developed in Brazil, but its history and influence comes primarly from Africa. African slaves living on Brazilian plantations weren't allowed to openly practice traditional forms of self-defense out of fear they might develop the skills and confidence to escape slavery. These slaves disguised their training by combining it with dance-like movements, singing, and the rhythms of primitive instruments. To the untrained plantation owners, the fluid ground movements, spinning kicks, aerial acrobatics, clapping and singing were part of traditional, native African ritual dances. Capoeira has evolved over centuries into an exciting combination of martial arts, dance, acrobatics, and live music.

Capoeira students learn traditional Capoeira movements along with Brazilian history and culture, Portuguese language, and traditional music. Capoeira's challenging dance and acrobatic movements help students develop physically, emotionally, and mentally. Capoeira students also learn to play traditional instruments and sing Portuguese music. Students develop strength, reaction reflexes, self-confidence, creativity and self-expression during improvised games. These same skills carry over to other sports and make Capoeira students better all-around athletes.

Capoeira classes are fun, entertaining, and a great workout. You can't help but get in great shape when you're having this much fun!
