Karim’s with the boys' team on the Brazilian beach to learn martial art capoeira.

It's day four of the boys’ team adventure in Brazil and the boys hit the beach to learn more moves of martial art capoeira. Meanwhile, presenter Karim tries to fit in with the locals.

It’s day four of the boys’ team adventure in Brazil, South America, for rugby player Franc, American footballer Reef and gymnast Sol. Watched over and cheered on by presenter Karim Zeroual, they are here to learn the moves of the martial art capoeira, as at the end of the week, their challenge is to perform these moves in front of top judges and a local crowd. 

Today, led by head coach Mestre Sabia, the boys’ final training before the big event is taking place at the beach. In addition to being put through their paces learning yet another complicated capoeira kick - one which even top gymnast Sol struggles with - Sabia tests their balance by throwing them into a surfing lesson on the high seas of the Brazilian coast.

Meanwhile, presenter Karim takes the idea of ‘fitting in’ on the beach a little bit too far.
