Capoeira Classes For Kids & Adults in Spring

Self Defense Classes in Spring
At Equipe Jaguar Capoeira we work to preserve the history and tradition of capoeira, but we are also excited to be a part of the evolution of this art in the 21st century as it continues to spread throughout Houston, Texas, and the world.​ 

​Our capoeira classes are designed for students to come work with the instructor on any areas of capoeira that they would like to improve in: strength, flexibility, acrobatics, basic skills, new skills or music. 

Benguela and Angola are styles of capoeira played at a slower pace and lower to the ground than Capoeira Regional. In these games players focus on creating and controlling a conversation between themselves by keeping their kicks and motions centered closely around each other.
Capoeira combines the elements of  martial arts, dance, acrobatics and music to create an art form that is both combative and playful.  ​

Capoeira Classes 

Capoeira Regional | Introductory Beginners

Introductory/beginners capoeira classes focus on capoeira regional, and will cover all the basic elements of capoeira: movements, kicks, acrobatics, music and history. Students will learn the basic movements and how to apply them to a game of capoeira, and will be coached to develop their own voice and style in the game of capoeira.

Capoeira Regional | Intermediate to Advanced

Intermediate/advanced capoeira classes include more advanced kicks and acrobatics as well as take downs. Students will also learn how to play all of the instruments, sing a wider array of songs, and speak basic Portuguese.

Capoeira Regional | Cubs

Cubs classes are our kids classes for ages 5 – 7.  Students will cover the same basics as our adult Capoeira Regional Introductory / Beginners class, but with a little more fun & games involved. The Tiny Cubs Class is for ages 2 to 4 and its our introductory class for toddlers. Junior Jaguars is for ages 8 to 13 and its a transitional class for our older kids into our adult capoeira curriculum.

Valetudo

Valetudo is a fighting style whose name translates to “anything goes” in Portuguese. This class teaches excellent self defense as students learn solid techniques covering stand-up sparring (kicks and punches, and take downs) as well as grappling/ground work. Our valetudo is taught during our fast paced, high-energy Jaguar Athletics classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:00pm to 8:00pm.
