This is one of the first activities that I chose for my son to participate in and he has continued his capoeira journey for 7 years. Profesor Ouricio inspires, encourages and motivates his capoeiristas; his guiding and enthusiastic approach models and sustains young and adult capoeiristas. Together with his wife Mariana, they have create a wonderful capoeira school, and an inclusive community atmosphere. I have been around the capoeira community in Perth since its inception 25 years ago, and Capoeira Australis is wonderful for young people and adults.

My two kids absolutely love attending class at Capoeira Australis. The enthusiasm and love for capoeira by Ouriço and Mariana is definitely infectious and shines through in the fun had by my kids at the classes. The care shown to ensure everyone is included and feels comfortable is absolutely fantastic. All we listen to is capoeira music now and my kids can’t stop practicing 🤣 can not recommend highly enough!!

This is a beautiful place run by a kind and knowledgeable team.

Enrolled my two boys here with a third one joining in soon. We did a couple of orientation of different martial arts at different places with my older boy and when we did an orientation at Capoeira Australis, we never look back since. My older boy who was then 4yrs old came in with speech delay, and general motor delay, and now with a diagnosis of ADHD. Definitley saw an improvement in his motor development and body coordination in short term. Instructor Lee is very engaging and very accommodating to the needs of each child and my boys have developed so much. Capoeira itself is like an all inclusive martial arts where children learn not only the martial art aspect but also the language, the culture, and musical instruments, and most importantly the togetherness. Definitely recommend it to all parents out there!

In only a few short classes with Capoeira Australis I made amazing mates, learned tons of awesome moves and made some amazing memories. Kindest group of people I’ve had the privilege of training with. Highly recommend to anyone who is considering giving Capoeira a crack.

The Capoeira Australis family has been instrumental in helping Nathanael, who has Down Syndrome, improve his core strength, agility and overall physical wellness. When he started in 2019, we were sceptical if he would be able to do all the complex moves. For someone with low muscle tone, he progressed from having very limited movements to being able to do a hand-stand (with support on the wall), and land on his feet properly...to perform complex Capoeira movements. Besides improving his physical agility, it has improved his self-confidence in more ways than one. He eagerly looks forward to his Capoeira sessions each week. He recently participated in the 2022 Christmas pageant and loved being part of this community event. Thank you, Ourico Lee and Marianna, for providing this fabulous cultural and acrobatic experience, which has become an important aspect of Nathanael's life so far.

My son has been attending Capoeira Australis in Osborne Park for the last six months. He is enjoying it so much that for his birthday he asked to decorate cake with people doing capoeira and put his white uniform with first cord to teach his friends some cool moves. We ended up playing fun captain Tomato game all together for the party. Teacher Ouriço always introduces play, story-time and music to every class. His personal approach to each child ensures that all differences are celebrated and kids feel special and heard. We love the sense of community Capoeira Australis is cultivating, and the events they put together that engage entire families. I even started learning Portuguese myself. We are so happy we found this school and gave it a try. Definitely will be continuing learning capoeira here.

Beautiful inclusive community! Such a great way to channel all the kids energy!

Lucca has been doing Capoeira for three years (started 3yo) and he is very engaged. The classes are great for coordination and motor skills. It involves movement and also music. The instructor Ourico is great with kids, and Capoeira Australis is easy to contact, great organisers and is always doing something good for the community. I love to be part of that family.

We love the team at Capoeira Australis. There team are encouraging and uplifting of both our children while teaching them their unique craft. Capoeira allows our kids to get a mix of movement, music and language while also teaching values it really is something special.
