Capoeira is an exciting and dynamic Afro-Brazilian art-form that combines elements of movement, dance, martial arts, music, and play. Don't be put off joining a capoeira class because you're not a gymnast or acrobat. Beginners are not expected to be able to do cartwheels and handstands from the outset! However, your fitness will build from day one and after a few months of training, you might be surprised what you can do. Watch this session to learn basic moves whilst listening to upbeat music and find out a bit of history behind this fascinating form of martial art.
