At Address Properties we’ve been letting, selling and managing properties around Liverpool for over 10 years, which means we understand the immense impact that Liverpool’s vibrant and diverse community has on the city. With such an eclectic community in Liverpool there are an array of different activities for you to try and social events for you to attend. Today, we’re shining a light on Capoeira For All, a not-for-profit community centred local business, whose dedicated and highly knowledgeable team teaches Capoeira in all of its many facets.
Last week we got the opportunity to meet with Akil, one of Capoeira For All’s instructors, who is also their Community and Educational Development Officer. When we visited the studio in John Archer Hall, on the outskirts of Liverpool’s Georgian Quarter we got the chance to see one of their energetic Capoeira classes in action.
It quickly became clear from our visit to the studio that Akil’s class did not only centre on the physical act of Capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art, but also its deep roots in music, art, song and community. The class was open to beginners and incredibly collaborative and uplifting. It provided the perfect outlet to meet some new friends, engage with the community and shake off some of those winter blues.
Capoeira For All hosts three different types of classes for the general public, as well as working with schools, youth centres and their wider community to give back and teach the enriching art of Capoeira and how it can impact social change.
So, if you’re looking for a new skill to work on, activity to try or a way to become more involved in the local Liverpool community why not give one of these classes a try?
