Capoeira is hard. It's really, really hard. But it is absolutely learnable if you are willing to put yourself out there. Most people who try Capoeira do not train for very long, and usually this is due to the physical difficulty. Even if you are physically fit, you may well feel out of shape.

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.

So again, it looks like Capoeira is very popular in Portuguese speaking countries and Israel. And on top of that, major cities like Paris, Lisbon, and Tel-aviv are epicenters of Capoeira outside of Brazil.
