Benefits of Kids Martial Arts in Orlando

From rising levels of anxiety and depression to the increasing dominance of technology and screen time, many kids struggle to develop the essential skills needed for a happy and successful life. Additionally, the lack of face-to-face interactions in the digital age makes it harder for them to build strong relationships and effective communication skills.
At CBP Martial Arts Academy, we provide a powerful solution through Kids Capoeira Martial Arts, offering a structured, supportive, and engaging environment where children can grow, develop confidence, and embrace a healthier lifestyle.

Meet Mestre Lazaro - Orlando's Premier Capoeira Master
Mestre Lazaro comes all the way from Bahia, Brazil, where he has developed a unique teaching style in the art of Capoeira. He has dedicated his life to this martial art, starting at age 14 as a young Capoeirista under the guidance of Grande Mestre Dinho from the group, Capoeira Topazio. After years of hard work, Mestre Lazaro became a Mestre himself, embodying the wisdom passed down through generations.
His journey took him across continents, showcasing the beauty of Capoeira to audiences in Europe, Japan, and the USA. Eventually, he made his way to Central Florida where his performance group was contracted to perform at Epcot. Eventually, in 1994 he established his own Capoeira Academy in Orlando and has been teaching ever since!
Mestre Lazaro's passion for teaching people of all ages shines through in everything we do. His core mission is to help students believe in themselves, achieve their full potential, and thrive in a supportive and empowering community. This message is ingrained throughout the academy, creating a space where students are inspired to grow both on and off the mat. Today, he continues to inspire and teach students, sharing his passion for Capoeira with a growing community.
