Angola Capoeira

Angola Capoeira is a traditional Brazilian martial art that combines dance, music, acrobatics, and strategic movement. Originating from enslaved Africans’ communities in Brazil, it emphasizes fluid, low-to-the-ground movements, creating a flowing, game-like interaction between players. Often performed to rhythmic music with singing and percussion, Angola Capoeira values musicality, deception, and control, blending physical skill with cultural expression. Unlike more fast-paced styles, it reflects a deep history of resistance and community, making it both a physical discipline and a cultural tradition.
