Regional (Capoeira Regional)

Capoeira Regional is a style of Brazilian martial art that combines dance, music, and combat techniques. Developed in the 20th century by Mestre Bimba, it emphasizes speed, agility, and structured movements, contrasting with the more improvisational and fluid style of Capoeira Angola. Regional features faster, power-driven kicks and acrobatics, along with a focus on athleticism and precision. It maintains the cultural roots of Capoeira while adapting to a more formal, performance-oriented form, making it both a martial art and a cultural expression rooted in Brazilian history.
