The impact Capoeira has had on my life has been tremendous. Capoeira has taught me discipline, dedication and respect. It has also helped me to build strength, flexibility and agility. As a student, I have gained a better understanding of Brazilian culture, customs, and language. Capoeira has also improved my self-confidence. As I have learned more and more of the moves, I have seen my skills develop and I have gained a greater sense of pride in my accomplishments. This confidence has transferred over to other areas of my life, such as school and work. I have also learned the importance of respect and camaraderie. Capoeira classes are a great way to meet people from different backgrounds, cultures and countries. Through the class, I have built relationships with my fellow classmates and have been exposed to different perspectives. The classes also provide me with an outlet for stress. The physical and mental demands of the class allow me to escape from the stresses of everyday life.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied and happy that I took this class.
