Is Capoeira hard to learn? If you know what you want to learn from it, then the answer is no! If you saw Capoeira in a show or movie, you might be blown away from the amazing moves. But not every capoeirista reaches the same level, just like not every gymnast reaches the olympics.

Capoeira first appeared among Africans in Brazil, during the early colonial period. According to the old capoeira mestres and tradition within the community, capoeira originates from Angola.

And on top of that, major cities like Paris, Lisbon, and Tel-aviv are epicenters of Capoeira outside of Brazil.

And on top of that, explain why it is that capoeira terms are mostly spoken/written in Portuguese language. Capoeira [kapo-way-ra] is a martial art originated from Brazil, sometime near the beginning of 16th century.
