SBCC runs regular adult all levels capoeira classes. We encourage a friendly and welcoming group dynamic. Our classes focus on the base movements and techniques required to safely and smartly play Capoeira. Our students also learn the culture and history of capoeira through developing an appreciation of its music; including both the instruments and songs that create the unique rhythm for the dynamic movements capoeira is renowned for.
Strength and conditioning elements are integrated into classes with a focus on increasing the students’ abilities to learn and perform the more challenging movements. Core control, as well as upper and lower body strength is developed over time during regular capoeira training. Students are encouraged to challenge themselves and supported to develop at their own pace with modifications made to simplify or intensify exercises as needed. One of the greatest benefits of capoeira training is that it's so much fun!

United Martial Arts Canada (Scarborough)Capoeira is not just a sport; it is an art form, a culture and an educational activity. It is used as a tool to educate. In many Brazilian schools and projects, capoeira develops its students. Not only in the physical, but also in an intellectual, philosophical and moral sense.
Capoeira is an art form that trains the practitioner to utilise the entire body’s musculature. It trains the body in all three plains of movement (forwards, sideways and twisting); utilising the body’s own weight while standing. Furthermore, in time the capoeirista learns to perform all 3 plains of movements (with control) while standing on their hands as well. All the while learning to switch on and control the core muscles (abdominals), which is paramount in order to control ones balance and stability.
Capoeira has the potential to:
| -Strengthen and define the entire musculature |
| -Increase agility |
| -Strengthen and improve core function (abdominals) |
| -Improve balance and coordination |
| -Improve joint stability |
| -Dramatically improve cardio vascular function (heart and lungs) |
| -Increase flexibility and mobility (range of motion) |
| -Quickens reflexes |
| -Increase body power |

| -Increases self-confidence |
| -Practices self-control and tames impulsive behaviour |
| -Teaches self-respect and respect for others |
| -Encourages creativity and an individualistic expression through music and movement |
