Capoeira Australis

The instructors are amazing with the children! Mariana is incredibly welcoming from the first point of contact to chatting with all the parents while the class is on. And my son, who often gives up easily when he can't do something on the first try is engaged for the whole class. I am so glad I chose Capoeira Australis for my son.

My son has been attending Capoeira Australis in Osborne Park for the last six months.He is enjoying it so much that for his birthday he asked to decorate cake with people doing capoeira and put his white uniform with first cord to teach his friends some cool moves. We ended up playing fun captain Tomato game all together for the party.Teacher Ouriço always introduces play, story-time and music to every class. His personal approach to each child ensures that all differences are celebrated and kids feel special and heard.We love the sense of community Capoeira Australis is cultivating, and the events they put together that engage entire families. I even started learning Portuguese myself.We are so happy we found this school and gave it a try. Definitely will be continuing learning capoeira here.

My son has been a part of this school for 2 years now and thoroughly enjoys it. Experiencing the culture and deep sense of community the school provides with the unique movements that Capoeira teaches has been amazing. Highly recommend for anyone especially children as the joy is evident on the kids faces every class

My son has been going to Capoeira Australis for almost 2 years now, since he turned 3. We chose Capoeira as it’s a holistic martial art where he can learn music, dance and acrobatics. We love how he learns by playing, as the instructor Ouriço always makes it fun and engaging for the children. It’s clear how much Mariana and Ouriço love what they do. The team is absolutely amazing with kids and so welcoming.

Our young children love Capoeira Australis and love learning the Brazilian songs and culture through their martial art lessons. We have watched their confidence grow and their gross motor techniques improve.Lee & Mariana's family run business is dedicated to Capoeira and they really make you feel like part of their family.

We love the team at Capoeira Australis. There team are encouraging and uplifting of both our children while teaching them their unique craft. Capoeira allows our kids to get a mix of movement, music and language while also teaching values it really is something special.

Lucca has been doing Capoeira for three years (started 3yo) and he is very engaged. The classes are great for coordination and motor skills. It involves movement and also music.The instructor Ourico is great with kids, and Capoeira Australis is easy to contact, great organisers and is always doing something good for the community.I love to be part of that family.

In only a few short classes with Capoeira Australis I made amazing mates, learned tons of awesome moves and made some amazing memories. Kindest group of people I’ve had the privilege of training with. Highly recommend to anyone who is considering giving Capoeira a crack.

The Capoeira Australis family has been instrumental in helping Nathanael, who has Down Syndrome, improve his core strength, agility and overall physical wellness. When he started in 2019, we were sceptical if he would be able to do all the complex moves. For someone with low muscle tone, he progressed from having very limited movements to being able to do a hand-stand (with support on the wall), and land on his feet properly...to perform complex Capoeira movements. Besides improving his physical agility, it has improved his self-confidence in more ways than one. He eagerly looks forward to his Capoeira sessions each week. He recently participated in the 2022 Christmas pageant and loved being part of this community event.Thank you, Ourico Lee and Marianna, for providing this fabulous cultural and acrobatic experience, which has become an important aspect of Nathanael's life so far.
