Capoeira palestra

Capoeira palestra refers to the introductory circle or gathering where practitioners of Capoeira come together to share knowledge, experiences, and cultural elements related to the martial art. The term "palestra" means "lecture" or "talk" in Portuguese, and during these sessions, participants discuss techniques, music, history, and the philosophy behind Capoeira. It is an important ritual that fosters community, encourages learning, and preserves the traditions of Capoeira. The palestra typically takes place before a game (jogo) and helps to enhance the participants' connection to the art and each other.
