• At Shanghai Center for Capoeira we believe that the art of capoeira is able to help raising open-minded, culturally and physically educated, and self-confident children.

  • Capoeira is one of the youngest yet fastest growing art forms today. This Afro-Brazilian sport is a perfect multilateral training, combining martial arts, dance, acrobatics, as well as music. While learning particular skills, kids and teens can get a cross-cultural experience and enjoy themselves.

  • Capoeira is a non-violent form of self-defense. It empowers kids to explore their talents, enhance their physical and mental abilities, while giving them an outlet to express themselves and achieve a sense of personal identity.
