Capoeira it's mostly practiced in its original traditional way, however, there are not many places you will find Capoeira being practiced in Angola anymore. Many know it, but very few practice it. As a result, Brazil has gained popularity of this tradition and is known internationally.

Capoeira isn't just a form of exercise - it's more like an art form and takes years to learn. Expect to take a year to be ready to take your first grading (and receive your first belt, or corda). As you get more advanced, it may take two to three years to progress to the next level.

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, 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.
