About Capoeira
Capoeira is a Brazilian Art. It is a whirling fight-dance, game and a martial art. It originated from the African slaves in Brazil, who were brought by the Portuguese. This was developed out of the slaves’ first Struggles against their white masters when hands and feet were their only weapons. The slaves fought for their freedom during the early 1500’s. Capoeira aside from, a method to develop their fighting skills; it became a recreational pastime and preserved their culture and heritage.
This art blends elements of music, song, dance, rhythm, self-expression, ritual, game, self-defense, acrobatic and fight. Capoeira is a fight, a dance, a folklore; it is a divine practice. Capoeira shows us a glimpse of the Beautiful Brazilian Culture. Its practice has numerous benefits: it teaches self defence, it enhances the individual’s fitness level, increase flexibility, enable to learn to play wood instruments with soulful Brazilian singing can be trained to execute astounding acrobatic movements, but most importantly it teaches an individual self-control and discipline. The abilities, the music, the friendship, the fitness, the fight, the folklore and the Culture are a few outcomes we can gain from Capoeira. Capoeira is immense, each Capoeirista has their own meaning and elucidation for this Art.
Majority of people see Capoeira as a form of dance; Some think of capoeira only as fight. Capoeira is a game of trickery, deception and fun. An experienced Capoeirista has full of Malicia. A Capoerista has to be prepared for each game – to win or lose, it is important to learn how to accept each result. The element of surprise in a game will ensure excitement. As the tempo of the game changes, each Capoeirsta should never expect anything , never under estimate anyone as a game can change in just a blink of an eye – anything can happen. A Capoeirsta must be ready for anything. It is essential to be careful – a good clean move against an opponent such as rasteira, tisura, boca de calsa and banda can either make you or break you; this will create your Name in the Capoeira World.
Capoeira Jogos (games) take place between two Capoeiristas inside a Roda ( the circle where the game is played). The Music is the heart of Capoeira. The Berimbau controls how the game will be. Capoeira Jogo can be fast or slow, competitive or friendly, acrobatic or grounded, aggressive or peaceful, all depending on the Capoeiristas, the Energy and the Environment. Capoeira has evolved from a folklore dance to a much stronger method fight, the addition of Brazilian Jui Jitsu by Mestre Dinho provided an effective implementation of ground fight.
Originating from Salvador Bahia; Three main genres of capoeira: the slower, lower, ’sneakier’ Capoeira Angola preserved by Mestre Pastinha. And the more aggressive, faster, acrobatic Capoeira Regional developed by Mestre Bimba. And a less-defined style called- “Contemporânea”.
