Sometimes I like to write English only posts about my Country, Brazil.

Now I am going to talk about, the Brazilian Martial Art: CAPOEIRA.

First watch this video:

Capoeira is a Brazilian fight-dance, game, and martial art created by enslaved Africans during the 19th Century. The 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 main styles, known as “regional”, “Angola”, and the less-well defined “contemporânea”.

In recent years capoeira has exploded out of Brazil and continues to grow in popularity. There are now capoeira schools in every continent except Antartica and over 2,000 schools listed on capoeirista alone.
