G.U.C.’s mission is to utilize Capoeira to build strong communities, promote unity, fight poverty and marginalization. G.U.C. has a history of successful social work in inner-city Brazil and Portugal. For the last 30 years, G.U.C. has undertaken collaborative initiatives with governments and non-profit organizations aimed at empowering underprivileged youth-at-risk areas and young offenders. The resulting programs utilized Capoeira training as a means of developing leadership and teamwork skills, as well as social tools that promote discipline, positive living and healthy self-confidence. G.U.C. continues to offer Capoeira as a positive alternative to violence, anti-social behavior, addiction and crime.
