How capoeira can help you

Before capoeira, I never saw my son smiling the way he does now.

When I moved to Paris in 2008, I had a bag of clothes, $40, and a dream: to share with people the magic in capoeira and how much capoeira can change your perspective, how simple things can be more important than status and money.

We don’t realize the power we have to do whatever we want, the power to chase our dreams.

I understand that life happens, and it is easy to feel overwhelmed. It can be hard to make positive changes without any support or motivation.

This is why I believe in capoeira, because I saw what a big impact capoeira has on so many people.

Im 2012, I moved from Paris to Iowa. I remember my first capoeira event there. After the kids got their belts, one of the moms, Carrie, came to me and said, “Before capoeira, I never saw my son smiling the way he does now. “

That was when it clicked: my job is not to just to teach people how to move, but to show people a way towards a better, happier life.

In my last post I shared with you why people stay in capoeira, and what inspired me to create this unique method.

Now I want to talk about how capoeira can make all this possible in your life!

Thank you for watching my videos!

I personally love the community, the support, and the culture inside capoeira. When I go play capoeira, I forget about time, about my problems and frustrations. I love the way that I can create movements, sequences, and music. I love the ritual and the celebration. I love how capoeira can bring us together, connect us. And I love how capoeira can make a person evolve in so many ways!

I want hear from you, so please leave a comment below if you have any questions, feedback, or suggestions!
