Gain confidence:If nothing else, capoeira is perfect for instilling a sense of pride and confidence in anyone who plays. Not only will you feel stronger and more courageous once you become comfortable in the jogo (game), you’ll find confidence in knowing that you are unique among your (non-capoeira) peers because you can do things they couldn’t imagine doing.

Live authentically:Capoeira is a total body, mind, and emotional expression. It involves one’s whole authentic person. Now that takes time to do with ease and regularity. But as one grows more confident in the martial art, he or she also grows more confident in the ability to express one’s unique voice.
