Hear From Our Students
Daniel Rempel-White5 June 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Seattle Capoeira Center is a great place to learn Capoeira with very good instructors who can teach all ages. From my time when I attended Seattle Capoeira Center as a kid, I was immediately taken in, and it felt like home. In my years of attending Seattle Capoeira Center, not only did I learn Capoeira, I also learned life lessons. I was taught discipline, respect, and hard work. These things have helped me throughout life, even after stopping Capoeira. Overall, I am grateful for Capoeira and the Seattle Capoeira Center for the positive impact it had on my life, and I would 100% suggest you take a couple of lessons at the Seattle Capoeira Center.

Our kiddo has been going to the center for about a year and it's had a monumental impact on his confidence and awareness of community. Mestre Syed and the instructors are all phenomenal people from different walks of life who passionately care about the Capoeira lifestyle and it's positive effects on kids. This is a gem of a place and we absolutely love it! Jana ffitch29 May 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A wonderful place to learn and play capoeira for kids and adults alike. I brought my 5 year old nephew to a kid's class recently and he was immediately welcomed and participating with the class right away. His mom brought him to the next class, but he fell asleep on the way there. When he woke up and realized he missed class he was heart broken. He couldn't wait to go back! Hannah Tiên29 May 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This school and community is really what gives me quality of life in Seattle. I get to learn, be challenged, participate, train, relax, and also share my own gifts with everyone here. My life wouldn't be the same without this place and community 💞 Rodrigo Orzari25 May 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. At the Seattle Capoeira Center, I've found the balance of community, workout, technique, and the music that makes you 'travel' from Seattle to Bahia-Brazil in my journey to become a better Angoleiro, one 'rasteira' at a time. Aaron Ansel6 May 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our kids have been attending lessons for almost 2 years and we couldn't be happier with the community of teachers and fellow students.
