Fundamentals of Capoeira

In this first phase, students will focus on mastering the basic and foundational movements of Capoeira, including:

-Ginga: The fundamental swaying movement that forms the base of Capoeira.
-Basic kicks and dodges: Such as meia-lua de frente (crescent kick) and esquiva (basic dodge).
-Introductory self-defense techniques: Movements that emphasize awareness and reflexive responses.

This section aims to build strength, coordination, and confidence while laying the groundwork for integrating Capoeira’s movements into fluid sequences.

Additional Notes:

Workout attire: Comfortable workout clothing is recommended to allow for unrestricted movement during training.

This progression ensures a well-rounded introduction to Capoeira, blending martial techniques, acrobatics, and cultural traditions.
