About
Capoeira is a Brazilian art form that blends fighting, dance, rhythm, and movement. It’s a dialogue between players — a conversation through movement that can carry many shades of meaning. While the details of Capoeira's origins and early history are still debated, it's clear that African slaves played a crucial role in its development. Some historians believe that slaves used Capoeira’s dance-like appearance to disguise combat and self-defense training. Capoeira’s unique combination of strength, flexibility, and rhythm builds physical power while also enhancing self-confidence, focus, courage, and creativity. Many people say Capoeira has been one of the best things to happen in their lives. But the only way to truly understand its magnetism is to see it — and try it — for yourself.
