What is Capoeira
Capoeira (Portuguese pronunciation: [kapuˈe(j)ɾɐ]) is a unique afro-brazilian martial art including elements of dance, acrobatics, music and spirituality.
It is known for its acrobatic and complex maneuvers, often involving hands on the ground and inverted kicks. It emphasizes flowing movements rather than fixed stances; the ginga, a rocking step, is the focal point of the technique.
This fascinating discipline fuses flexibility, agility, strength, balance, self-defense, self-confidence, coordination and rhythm: creating a workout like no other.
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.
