Discover Capoeira
Capoeira is many things to many people; one of its beauties is its diversity. This is our definition.
"Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian sport and art form that involves acrobatics, music, and dance.
It is also a philosophy and an outlook on life, one that is based on respect for others, peacefulness and self-empowerment through discipline, and awareness of the self and others.
"It was created and used as a tool for emancipation and resistance by African slaves brought to Brazil. To this day it remains a powerful tool for community integration, education and empowerment."
That said the only way to really understand the spirit of capoeira, is to play. Fore more detailed info check Wikipedia: Capoeira
