Instrutora Pimenta has been teaching capoeira since 2012 and adores her kids’ classes. She believes capoeira is hands down the best martial art for kids. It offers all the strengthening, flexibility demands, body awareness and discipline of other fighting arts wtih the added benefits of live sparing, music and cooperation. “I love how kids take capoeira out of the academy and into their neighborhoods. Capoeira inspires playfulness, challenges you and inspires growth physically as well as emotionally."
