Capoeiragem (Capoeira Training)
Capoeiragem, or Capoeira, is a Brazilian martial art combining dance, acrobatics, music, and strategic movements. It originated among African slaves as a form of cultural expression and self-defense. Practitioners perform fluid, rhythmic sequences called "rodas," where they execute kicks, spins, and evasive maneuvers in a playful yet competitive manner. Emphasizing agility, timing, and improvisation, Capoeira fosters physical fitness, cultural awareness, and community connection. It’s characterized by its lively music, singing, and the dynamic interaction between players, making it both a martial art and a vibrant cultural tradition.
