Page summaryHistory of CapoeiraCapoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art, game, and culture created by enslaved Africans in Brazil and developed to its current form by the hard work of Mestre Bimba. Capoeira involves participants (Capoeiristas) forming a roda (circle) and take turns playing instruments, singing, and sparring in pairs in the center of the circle. The game is marked by fluid acrobatic play, feints, subterfuge, and extensive use of groundwork, as well as sweeps, kicks, and headbutts. There maybe contact espciallywhen trickery is involved but often Capoeiristas train and avoid touching each other whilst at the same time making all movements with the purpose of hitting each other. The beuty in the game is from the fluid nature of play. The two main variations of the game are the slower but more muscular "Capoeira Angola", and the faster and reactive "Capoeira Regional."
