WHAT LIFE-CHANGING BENEFITS YOU CAN
EXPECT FROM OUR
CAPOEIRA CLASSES?
1) GAIN Strength and Flexibility and LOSE Weight Fast:
Our Capoeira All-Levels class is a full-body workout that is particularly great for developing core strength, stabilising and strengthening the back and burning tons of calories. Many people lose weight without even doing any diet changes but of course, when they do, the progress is faster.
2) BE Happier:
It is so much fun that you will feel happier the more you train. Forget the boring workouts and cardio sessions, challenge your body and learn something new and exciting that will make you achieve things you never thought possible.
3) REDUCE Stress and Anxiety
Martial Arts boost your endorphins, your brain’s feel-good neurotransmitters that are also known to be a natural painkiller.
Capoeira allows you to truly focus on yourself and clear your mind. It helps you to forget all of your problems for the time you are training. You will often find yourself becoming completely immersed in class and feeling calm and clear afterwards.
On top of that, add the physical release of punching and kicking and this will work wonders for stress! This, combined with all the above, will make you feel amazing after a good class.
4) BRING a great sense of community and friendship
It is a cultural activity as well as a sport and when you join Capoeira Nago London you feel like you are part of the family right away. You will definitely make friends along the way and meet new people from all over the world through capoeira events, camps and training. Lasting, meaningful relationships have been built in our Academy.
All in all, the more you train Capoeira, the more obvious its benefits become. Everyone who practices it can attest to the overall improvements in their lives…
"Really good club to learn the art form of Capoeira in a safe controlled environment. Club members are friendly and eager to help out. Coming from a different capoeira school I felt quite at home. Equal attention is given to teaching the music and culture connected to Capoeira. There are outdoor training sessions during summer.
Sereia is a really great coach/teacher with a high level of mental and physical energy which is very contagious. Her classes are very accommodating to beginners and are structured for all levels. Her training methods are very organised and you’ll find your fitness level improving and progression at your game very quickly..."VT - Google Review
