West-Island Capoeira
Details
Capoeira is an amalgamation of fighting styles, dance, acrobatics, rhythm of body and spirit. Capoeira is a martial art.
Capoeira is one of the most fascinating components of Brazilian culture. The philosophy of the capoeirista (one who practices capoeira) during the roda consists of balancing the moments of defense and attack according to the ever-changing timing of the jogo (the game of capoeira).
Capoeira is an art in and of itself. It should not be confused with any other form of dance or martial art. Capoeira was created by enslaved Africans brought to Brazil through the slave trade and has evolved within a particular historical and social context, in conjunction with varied cultural influences from the indigenous population and the whites within the vast country of Brazil.
Capoeira is considered by many as a fight disguised as a dance and by others as a dance hidden within the fight. In conclusion, even though capoeira is a martial art, it is played and as a game.
