Capoeira Luanda
Capoeira Luanda is a style of Capoeira, a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, and music. Originating from the African heritage of enslaved people in Brazil, Capoeira Luanda emphasizes fluid movements and graceful techniques while maintaining a strong connection to its cultural roots. It often includes traditional music, played with instruments like the berimbau, and encourages creativity and individual expression. Practitioners engage in a playful sparring game called a "roda," promoting not just physical skill, but also community, rhythm, and respect for the art's history and traditions.
