Australian Government – Australian Sports Commission – Active After-School Communities

I write this reference for Matthew Eales and his organisation of Group Capoeira Brasil -Townsville.
Matthew has been involved with then Active After School Communities (MSC) since its inception in 2005. Matthew has been an exceptional coach delivering high quality programs that cover a range of physical and educational attributes. Some of these include learning of traditional Capoeira martial arts, language and meanings, stories of legend as well as music and song.

Matthew has great experience and the ability to include all children within his activities. I often attend his sessions to see traditionally inactive kids enjoying his sessions as he is extremely motivated himself. Matthew always sets a high standard and carries a positive attitude around the kids which definitely shows in his sessions and by the reaction of the kids.

Some of the benefits of Capoeira are: improvement in self confidence, health & fitness, co-ordination, strength, discipline, and respect to name a few. As discussed earlier the kids also learn about a different culture in the way Matthew delivers his program. Matt also offers the ability for the kids to transition if they really enjoy the session to the local Capoeria Club which he runs. It is also a great way for kids to find new friends and develop their creative side.

After observing Matthew work over a number years within our programme I have no hesitation in recommending him as an outstanding deliverer who will deliver the highest quality service. His sessions are easily one of the best and most liked in our programme. As a professional I have had nothing but cooperation from Matthew and am hopeful he stays with us for the long term.
