Capoeira is an art form, a way of life, a story of survival from slavery, rich in history, friendship, fight, dance, culture, music & mandinga (magic). Capoeira is a dynamic Brazilian Martial Art that originates from the Afro-Brazilian Slaves. The game is played to the rhythms of live music and songs.
The rhythm dictates the game, and the primary defence is through evasive manoeuvres. As a result, the fluidity of the game deceives the observer by making it look more like a choreographed dance. Every lesson, every song, every game is different, and the experience becomes all the more addictive.
