CAPOEIRA is an Afro-Brazilian martial art developed in the
1500s by African and Indigenous slaves in Brazil as a form
of self-defence from their oppressors. It is marked by its
agile and tricky movements that may be executed anywhere
from an upside-down position, to a gravity defying kick. It
has a strong acrobatic component in some styles and is
always played with music.
