A Week to Beat the World

Series 1

Brazil Day 1

Duration: 15 minutes

First broadcast: on CBBC ChannelLatest broadcast: on CBBC Channel

The boys' team of rugby player Franc, American footballer Reef and gymnast Sol are in Brazil, South America, to learn about the martial art capoeira. Watched over and cheered on by presenter Karim Zeroual, at the end of the week they are going to be assessed by top capoeiristas on how many moves of this incredible sport they have mastered.

Led by Karim, their first action-packed day involves watching an awe inspiring - and for some very confusing - demonstration of capoeira from experts, before meeting head coach, Mestre Sabia. He introduces them to their training partners for the week - some of the top students from his school of capoeira.

As the boys take a break to look around their home for the week, Karim learns about a local tradition said to bring good luck. Finally, the boys experience their first intense training session, which is unlike anything any of them have ever experienced before! Show less
