Capoeira

n. Brazilian martial art that incorporates dance which was developed at first by African slaves in Africa

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. Capoeira has three variations known as "Capoeira Angola", "Capoeira Regional", and the ever-evolving "Capoeira Contemporânea".
