Capoeira Is a Diverse Combination of martial arts, game, music, dance and acrobatics that was created sometime by the African slaves in Brazil sometime after the sixteenth Century.
When playing Capoeira, Participants form a circle(roda) and take turns playing traditional African Instruments (such as the Berimbau), singing, or sparring in pairs in the centre of the circle.
Capoeristas believe that the Roda – the place where Capoeira is played symbolises the world and when inside that circle everyone is equal – all you have is your mind body and soul!
