Kids Capoeira at Rise Training
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines movement, music, and culture.
In our classes, kids build:
• confidence
• coordination
• discipline
All within a supportive, structured environment.
If you’ve been looking for something engaging and consistent for your child, this is it.
Now enrolling.

Ages 6–12 • Beginner-friendly
You can feel the difference when people are consistent.
The energy changes.
The room changes.
The way people move changes.
That’s what happens when training becomes part of your routine.
Join a session — and stay with it.
