Capoeira is an energetic, often acrobatic, dance-like style of martial art. Capoeira was first practiced by African slaves who were taken to work in Brazil. Capoeira is primarily based around kicking, as a slave’s hands were normally manacled.
In Capoeira, many movements are carried out while in a handstand position, often resembling modern Breakdance moves.
There are a variety of forms of Capoeira, including where two people ‘play fight each other inside a circle formed by spectators, while other members of the group play instruments and sing. The music dictates the speed or tempo of the movements.
