LOOKING AT OUR PAST
What is Capoeira?
It can be said that Capoeira defies description, that one must witness its magic firsthand to comprehend its energy, beauty, and skill. To understand the movement, music, and magnetism of Capoeira, we must explore the art’s fascinating tradition and mysterious history. Capoeira is a story of triumph and freedom.
Rooted in the rich African cultures brought to Brazil by slaves, Capoeira’s origin dates back 500 years to the beginnings of Brazil’s slave trade period. Capoeira and its practitioners persevered through centuries of marginalization and discrimination and today the art has evolved from cultural ritual to martial art to way of life. Capoeira promotes diversity and tolerance, teaches discipline and respect for tradition, insures amazing fitness, and encourages investment in culture.The many benefits of Capoeira
