Capoeira for families Workshop

Mission Cultural Center welcomes you to our grand re-opening: Corazón Abierto Open House. For this event we have created a series of classes that we will be offering through out the year.

Capoeira is designed to foster mental and physical development. Through the art of

Capoeira, the program gives youth and their families a healthy and exciting

activity to put their energy into. The difficulty of the exercises depends on

the age group and level of the students. Each class will conclude with a

group circle (roda) where students clap, sing, play music and rehearse the

movements they have learned against each other.

As a Capoeirista, students are required to develop the skills listed below:

Balance

Flexibility

Acrobatics

Coordination

Respect

Teamwork

Music

Self Esteem

Dance

Singing

Self Defense

Endurance Training

Strength Development

Bio:

Armando Ibarra started his martial arts training at the age of 4 and has

been training Capoeira for 10 years. Armando has a background in teaching

since he was 16. He has experience teaching people of all ages but has

largely placed his focus on the youth. Armando has been assisting with

teaching youth classes at local parks and recreation centers under his

instructors. He is no stranger to the MAS program as he has grown up in

the Mission District and has taught youth in the Mission Cultural Center. He

believes that training Capoeira can truly change a person through discipline

while introducing a new language, culture, and other skills that one may

learn by practicing it.
