Professor Pé Pesado (Rich Andrews), is not only the founder of Capoeira Brampton Malês but he is a father of two boys (now in their 20’s) and a step Dad to a young girl. “Pé“ (as we call him) brings both professional expertise and a parent’s care to every kids’ class. His ability to connect with children is grounded in patience, encouragement, and a genuine passion for their growth. As both an instructor and mentor, he creates a fun, structured, and inclusive environment that helps kids build confidence, discipline, and a love for movement and music—while feeling seen, supported, and inspired.
