Getting Started With Capoeira
Capoeira is a multi-dimensional Afro-Brazilian art form that combines martial arts, dance, acrobatics, music, and culture. It is an ideal activity to tap into the many ways that your child finds inspiration. Today it is practiced all over the world.

United Capoeira Association (UCA) – Hayward offers Capoeira classes for children as young as 3 through teenagers. They teach by empowering capoeiristas to celebrate their unique and powerful energies while teaching them how their individuality helps build community.

What parents say about UCA Hayward
Our kids have been attending UCA Hayward since they were small, from the toddler pre-cap class to now the youth and teens classes. Mestre Recruta (Chris) is one of the best teachers we’ve ever seen — his classes are fun, but disciplined and full of amazing energy. Even though we’ve moved away from the area, we still drive 1-2 hours twice a week to UCA Hayward for the kids’ classes. ~ Jenny Chu
Our family has been a part of the UCA Hayward community for over a decade now and both my children have demonstrated tremendous growth, both physically and in character thanks to their training with Mestre Recruta. There’s no other place I can think of where they have the opportunity to interact with such a beautifully diverse community learning an art form that through language, song, and martial arts strengthens their bodies, minds, and spirits. We are grateful our children have had capoeira in their lives! ~ Marilyn Eakin
