About Us
MARTIAL ARTS, MUSIC, PORTUGUESE, DANCE AND FITNESS.EXPLORING CULTURE TO PROMOTE PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.
Aprende Viver uses the unique Brazilian martial art of Capoeira to promote cultural exploration and encourage personal development in children living in the Third Ward area, Houston.
We began classes in August 2013, using the donated basketball court in the back of the MLK Center. Since then, we have performed at Family Fun Fest, participated regularly at Martin Luther King parade and have organized various fundraisers to help fund 2 successful events where we our students got to train with real Brazilian Masters of the art of Capoeira!
