Sarah Badat-Richardson believes that, although she and her husband raise her daughter with the very best intentions, it takes a village to provide our children with a life of quality, purpose, and fun. Not surprisingly, capoeira has become this kind of source of enrichment for their family.

Barat-Richardson on Capoeira Besouro Hawaii, and Mestre Kinha:

I am so thankful to have found this school. I could not have picked a more nurturing environment. Everyone there deeply cares about the kids. They encourage them to step outside their comfort zone. They treat them respectfully and honor their individuality while teaching them to work well in groups.

Mestre Kinha, the head coach, my daughter’s first male role model besides her father, exudes such kindness, patience and passion for teaching. He is now for her another example of what a good man looks like.

The entire blog post is a heartwarming read and does a nice job at reiterating the benefits of capoeira. Please visit Badat-Richardson’s blog to read “The people of my village”.
