Capoeira is a blend of fitness, acrobatics, self-defense, dance, and music. It has recently been featured in films like 'Harry Potter', 'Blade', 'Ocean’s 12', 'Mission Impossible 2', 'Cat Woman', MTV Popmusic Videos, and even PlayStation games. This exposure has allowed Capoeira to captivate a wide range of students, including those previously uninterested in physical education.
