CaPoeira Classes
At our home studio we offer weekly Family Capoeira and Kids Capoeira classes. We also host open training sessions for the capoeiristas in our community. Learn more.
Capoeira FUNDAMENTALS
For schools and organizations that serve young people, we facilitate Capoeira FUNdamentals, a fun and engaging class that introduces the primary elements of the movements, music, and history of capoeira. We also encourage Parent Leaders to organize Capoeira FUNdamentals programs for their children.

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR
A holistic fitness and wellness practitioner for the past 16 years, James Muwonge has been studying capoeira for more than a decade. Entrusted early on by his teachers to facilitate capoeira programs, he has been instructing youth, families, and community groups since 2011.
James enlivens each Capoeira FUNdamentals class with innovative games and exercises that are truly accessible for all learners. He strives to help every child tap into their individual strengths, while also inspiring them to practice more challenging movements and try out more complicated sequences.
James’ boundless energy and passion for capoeira is contagious. Students are always eager to go home and share with their parents the progress they’ve made from week to week. Young people, parents, and even the teachers, are known to cheer loudly whenever he walks through the door.
James is also a Certified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor through the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
