Capoeira Regional

Capoeira Regional is a Brazilian martial art that blends elements of dance, acrobatics, and music. Developed in the early 20th century, it is characterized by its fluid movements and emphasis on agility and creativity. Practitioners, known as capoeiristas, engage in a playful exchange called a "jogo" within a circle called a "roda," accompanied by traditional Brazilian instruments. Capoeira Regional is distinct for its more focused and technical approach compared to other styles, promoting both physical fitness and cultural expression, and it reflects the rich heritage of Afro-Brazilian history and community.
