Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art disguised as a dance. It was created 400 years ago in colonial Brazil by African slaves. The dance was performed to drums and song. Two men would dance in a circle then exchange strikes and sweeps using mostly the feet and head to strike. The game would end when someone was knocked down. Today, Capoeira is a sport and art form that is practiced internationally. The movements are very dynamic and explosive often involving spins, jumps, and flips. Capoeira is a very expressive martial art that teaches body control, flexibility, and agility. Regular practice improves coordination, rhythm, and overall strength. The skills developed through training are exceptional. Capoeira is a very unique martial art and an amazing intense workout.
