capoeira guide

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art. It was created in Brazil by slaves that were forced to hide the fight within a dance some time after the 16th century. It was developed in the region known as Pernambuco in “Quilombo de Palmares”, presently state of Alagoas. Capoeira is physically dynamic because it utilizes acrobatics, cleverness, and cunning. Participants form a “roda”, or circle, and take turns either playing musical instruments (such as the Berimbau), singing, or sparring in pairs in the center of the roda. The sparring is marked by fluid acrobatic play, feints, and extensive use of sweeps, kicks, and head butts. Other techniques include elbow strikes, slaps, punches, and body throws. Capoeira is the second most popular sport in Brazil and is practiced all around the world by people of different races, age, gender, and beliefs.
