Capoiera at the Fit Community

Vigorous dancing is good exercise. Practicing martial arts, with all its kicks and punching, is good exercise. Acrobatics are good exercise. Mix them together, along with a musical beat, and you have Capoeira.

The Afro-Brazilian martial art, undoubtedly, is great exercise.

We are all so pleased to have Brazilian trained Capoeira instructor Fernando Moraes host his classes at the club, that the kids at the Boys and Girls Club literally dance with joy during his classes. It may be the drums or the Brazilian music, but Fernando's style - which combines music, dance and martial arts with a cultural emphasis - is altogether energizing and inspiring.
