Capoeira Life

The mission of Capoeira Life is to use the teachings of Capoeira Angola to physically and mentally empower individuals from under-resourced backgrounds. Our purpose is to grow and support our community in Southeast Seattle. Primarily focusing its efforts on the community’s youth, Capoeira Life uses the movement and music of Capoeira Angola to develop in its students respect, awareness, strength, and agility. Through a combination of alternative curricula including both ancient traditions and modern Capoeira techniques, we aim to ensure that this sacred element of African-Brazilian culture survives for generations to come.
