Capoeira

Capoeira

Capoeira is one of the most exciting martial arts in Brazil.  The African slaves in Brazil created Capoeira hundreds of years ago to rebel against their Brazilian slave masters.  Capoeira is considered an art form because it is used as for playing, fighting, acrobatics, dancing, music, theater, ritual and philosophy.  These elements make Capoeira so different than any other type of martial art.  African men also used Capoeira as a way to prepare for war thousands of years ago but it is now practiced as a dance without any type of physical contact.

There are two types of Capoeira one is Angola and the other is Senzala.  Angola is the traditional form of Capoeira and one the hardest forms to learn because the movements are slower requiring a lot of strength, there is also an emphasis on religion, with Angola praise is always given to the spirits.  Angola is played to slow music so that the performer can be deliberately and careful to his opponent, but Angola is more to the ground imitating movements of the snake rather than the acrobatic for (Senzala) which imitates movements of the scorpion and the monkey.
