Capoeira Classes in Moreno Valley

ASG brings Capoeira to the Inland Empire! Capoeira (pronounced ka.pu.eh.ra) is an Afro-Brazilian blend of martial art, game, and culture created in Brazil during the 16th Century. In the traditional form, participants form a circle and take turns playing instruments, singing, and sparring in pairs in the center of the circle.

Capoeira makes use of:

• fluid acrobatic play
• feints
• subterfuge
• extensive groundwork
• sweeps
• kicks
• head butts

Participants must avoid a sweep, trip, kick, or head butt that may knock him or her on the floor. Other techniques used include elbow-strikes, slaps, punches, and body-throws.

If you live or work in Moreno Valley or the surrounding cities of Riverside, San Bernardino, Loma Linda, or Perris, stop in for a free Capoeira class and see if our program is a fit for you.
