What is Capoeira?

 

 



Capoeira is the popular Brazilian martial art form that combines self-defense, acrobatics, music, dance, history, and culture.  Created by the abducted African slaves 400 years ago in what is now known as Brazil, the self-defense techniques were disguised with music and dance to fool the unsuspecting slave owners and eventually lead the slaves to their lost freedom.  Adults and children of all ages are experiencing the benefits of health, fitness, discipline, confidence, and respect for themselves and others as they train in this beautiful Brazilian martial art form.
