Capo-Kids Program: Classes for Kids

The Capo-Kids program is a capoeira program for kids ages five to 12. All classes are led by Mestre Fran, who has over 30 years of experience teaching children and using capoeira to help them develop. The Capo-Kids program combines the same values of any martial art—like fitness, self-confidence, discipline, and respect—with benefits specific to Capoeira—culture, music, Portuguese, dance, and gymnastics—into one great class!

It's fun, energetic, and engaging and was designed specially for your child. Maculelê Atlanta understands that children are the future of capoeira. Therefore this program not only gives your child the opportunity to be a great capoeirista, but also great members of the community.

Capoeira Kids Class Details

The Capo-Kids program meets twice a week. Capoeira can challenge and educate your child both physically and mentally. In capoeira classes, your child will develop each of the following traits.

Creativity

Your child will have an outlet for self-expression by learning to play capoeira. The game of capoeira is never choreographed, so your child will always be challenged to be creative and strategic.

Physical fitness

Your child will get a fantastic, comprehensive workout that improves flexibility, coordination, strength, and endurance all while having a whole lot of fun! He or she will also learn cool gymnastic and acrobatic movements.

Personal growth

Through training, capoeira can help your child develop a greater sense of responsibility, greater self-confidence, more discipline, and improved self-esteem.

Social growth

Capoeira is well known for its strong sense of camaraderie and togetherness. Your child will develop social skills and gain great friendships.

Music & language

The benefits of music and language for children are unprecedented. In capoeira, your child will learn to play the traditional capoeira instruments and sing in Portuguese.

Self-respect & confidence

Looking at challenges with a can-do approach is critical to everyone's development. Your child will also learn the importance of taking care of him or herself: avoiding drugs and eating right.
