My Nonprofit Reviews

Abada Capoeira DC (ACDC) is more than Capoeira. Well, don't get me wrong: ACDC follows a strong school of capoeira, from fundamentals to the finest techniques of this sophisticated martial art. Besides the fighting techniques, students learn music, instruments, chanting, Portuguese language, and Brazilian culture. The additional gems of ACDC are the core values of integrity, social connections, and community spirit. In an era where isolation and loneliness are ever more pervasive in life, Capoeira brings back the joy of connection and communal activities. That's why supporting this group is vital: we need to reinforce our communities through group activities. I can't see a better way of doing this than supporting and joining ACDC!

Abada-Capoeira DC changed my life for the better. This organization promotes one the most important actions and attitudes of the current times: community building. Everything we do in Abada-Capoeira is community oriented. Adults and children learn that we can live better and healthier lives by exercising together, developing our artistic skills, grounding ourselves in the teachings of our ancestors, and engaging with broader groups. Such program is a gem within our society that needs to shine! Bernardo
