School Values
The London School of Capoeira masters and instructors believe that Capoeira is open to all - the young and the old, the strong and the strong to be.
We value discipline, dedication and respect between Capoeiristas.
We value Capoeira tradition and integrate Brazilian culture to our lessons via the practice and study of Capoeira. We celebrate diversity and equality and offer opportunities for learning the art form in a friendly and positive environment.
LSC Belt system
Capoeira belt system
The London School of Capoeira Herança follows the Brazilian Confederation of Capoeira belt system.
Capoeiristas are awarded their first or a more advanced belt according to their level, dedication and progress.
The Formado Capoeirista can begin to teach Capoeira under the guidance of her/his Capoeira master.
The path of a Capoeira Master
The belts which are awarded after Formed require more responsibility, knowledge and experience from the “Capoeira”. It is a path of patience, focus and love for the art form.
We believe that there is mutual respect from Master to the student and from the student to the Master during the practice of Capoeira.
Who we are
As part of our tradition, we believe that students should follow a style of Capoeira during their first 7 years of training, in order to absorb the school's ethos, approach and knowledge of game.
By following the LSCH ethos, students are asked to wear the uniform, which is a symbol of unity and belonging.
“The ABADA does not make or represent a good student, but a good student represents the ABADA”
The LSCH Capoeira style is fluid, artistic, non martial but self-defence effective. We believe in overcoming difficulties by maintaining regular and consistent practice and dedication - step by step, building strength, confidence and self-motivation.
The student who wishes to follow the LSCH belt system is required to attend both; music and movement lessons.
