Capoeira Research

Capoeira research involves studying the Brazilian martial art that blends dance, music, and acrobatics. Originating among African slaves in Brazil, it is both a form of self-defense and a cultural expression. Researchers explore its historical roots, social dynamics, and physical techniques, examining how it promotes community identity and resilience. They also look at its educational and therapeutic benefits, as well as its impact on cultural exchange and globalization. The practice of capoeira is deeply intertwined with music and rhythm, making it a rich subject for exploration in anthropology, sociology, and physical education.
