Series Summary

Capoeira is the Brazilian martial art that evolved in the colonial period. There are two common styles of Capoeira known as “Angola” and “regional.” This type of fighting has a mixed origin, believed to have been created in Africa or in Brazil. A large group of competitors form a circle and take turns playing instruments, singing and sparring one-on-one in the center of the circle. The music that is integrated into Capoeira varies from slow to fast tempo and can be historic stories, silly songs, or songs of inspiration. The fighting styles of Capoeira do not focus on hurting the opponent, but rather the skill of your own fighting style. Capoeira competitors show movement but do not complete an attack to show their advanced level of skill.
