Capoeira Training

Our core program offers structured capoeira training sessions for youth ages 6-18, meeting three times weekly in community centers across East Jerusalem. Participants learn traditional movements, music, and the cultural context of capoeira while developing physical fitness, discipline, and teamwork. Beyond physical training, our curriculum incorporates discussions about shared values, conflict resolution, and cultural heritage. The program culminates in community performances where students showcase their skills and achievements
