Capoeira

Martial arts > Occidental Martial Arts > Capoeira

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art, game, and culture created by enslaved Afrikans in Brazil during the 17th Century Participants form a roda (circle) and take turns playing instruments, singing, and sparring in pairs in the centre of the circle. The game is marked by fluid acrobatic play, feints, subterfuge, and extensive use of groundwork, as well as sweeps, kicks, and headbutts. Less frequently, elbow-strikes, slaps, punches, and body-throws are used. Technique and strategy are the key elements to playing a good game.
