Capoeira Is an acrobatic & striking martial art- disguised as a dance, & with an incredible history.
There are a few origin stories, but the one that captivates me most, is that capoeira was created by African slaves in Brazil in the 1600’s. It’s said that it took on dancing & music in order to train martial arts under the noses of slave owners- & that’s badass!

Have you heard of capoeira before? What do you think about it as a fighting style? I used to think it was super flashy, but not too practical. However, as I study a number of martial arts, & am also a musician, I see that there’s more to capoeira than meets the eye.
