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.

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.

The basic term of capoeira philosophy is malícia (malice). One aspect of malicia consists of deceiving the opponent into thinking that you are going to execute a certain move when in fact you are going to do something completely different.

The most common way for someone to win in Capoeira, is to dominate the space in the roda, stifling the opponents movement.
