Abstract
Many culturally diverse populations, such as angry youth, relapse into aggressive behaviors because of poor behavioral self-efficacy and socialization skills. To supplement traditional treatments, there is need for culturally sensitive and effective programs. Martial arts, when integrated with culturally sensitive clinical components, are a viable addendum to therapy. Martial arts represent a paradigm shift from talk therapies to more interactive, socially involving group methods. Combining the movement of martial arts with culturally sensitive therapeutic principles can make a significant difference with culturally diverse populations. Capoeira (a Brazilian martial art) is a potential multicultural group approach for behavioral change.
