It is a community. Capoeiristas have friends all over the world because they all speak the same language: capoeira
Improves balance
Research from the University of Minnesota shows that the coordination of upper and lower body movements, as well as moves that require balancing on one leg or hand, enhance coordination
Strengthens upper body
Many of the moves, including handstands and cartwheels, require taking the body's full weight through the hands, so strengthening upper arms, chest, shoulders and back
About Capoeira
Capoeira isn't just a form of exercise - it's more like an art form.
Capoeira isn't just a workout - there are musical instruments involved (specifically the berimbau, a stringed instrument), there's singing in Portuguese to master, and various customs and etiquette to get to grips with.
Capoeira is good for:
Agility and fast reflexes
Capoeira is all about reacting quickly to evade, trick or 'attack' your opponent. Regular practice builds fast reflexes and superior agility
Enhances flexibility
Unlike many sports and activities, capoeira takes the body in all directions. It bends, twists, curls and stretches, developing mobility throughout the joints and muscles
Boosts heart
Weight-bearing movement in all directions is demanding on the cardiovascular system, increasing stamina. One hour of capoeira burns around 500 calories
Concentration/Meditation
It is meditiative. While doing capoeira there is nothing else you can thing about, because there is only the focus on what you are doing at that moment.
