CAPOEIRA

A martial art originlly from Angola in Africa.


Over the last 500 years or so the Brazilians have made it their own.


It incorporates music and dance, statergy, acrobatics and all that brazilian flare!


Trained as mostly non contact... For those who doubt its effectiveness as a fighting form


10,000s of slaves used it to gain their freedom.


Today it still provides freedom, for the mind and body and is a lot of fun.
