stl_karateka Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Capoeria is an art started in Brazil by slaves. They got the idea by watching the way animals moved and attacked. Obviously, slaves were not allowed to learn to fight. This would lead to revolts etc etc. So, in order to learn to defend themselves, they had to learn a techinque that looked like anything but fighting. In fact, it is not called 'practicing' like most martial arts --- it is called playing Capoeria. The capoeristas stand in a circle(roda) and someone plays the berimbau which sets the tempo, and others play the drums. Capoeira is very acrobatic, full of powerful kicks and hidden sweeps. When the white masters viewed the slaves --- they thought they were playing because the techiques were hidden and the music.
