New Class - Capoeira!
3 Fires is pleased to announce that we are now offering classes in the Brazialian martial art, Capoeira. Our instructor, Heather Dabrowski, learned Capoeira while working in Brazil. As with all of our martial arts instructors, she will be continuing her training through the Canadian chapter of Sinhá Bahia de Capoeira an international organization of schools teaching Capoeira.
The classes begin on January 12th, 2012, from 7PM to 8:30PM.
Capoeira utilizes kicks and cartwheels, high flying tricks and fluid floor movements, Capoeira is a Afro-Brazilian art form which combines martial arts, acrobatics, music, movement and culture into a kind of game . It is a dialogue between players - a conversation through movement to percussive Afro Brazilian music. Many historians believe that African slaves in Brazil used Capoeira's dance-like appearance as a way to hide their training of combat and self-defence. But that’s just the start of the story. To really understand Capoeira, you need to experience it for yourself. It is a dynamic martial art and expression of culture that will challenge your body to move in new ways. In a Capoeira class you will improve your strength, Coordination, stamina and flexibility while having so much fun you won’t realize you are working out.
