This exciting martial art is native to the Americas, developed in Brazil by the descendants of African slaves. Capoeira is characterized by dynamic body play, kicking, sweeping, takedowns & feinting. It is played within a circle of onlookers & fellow participants, called a "Roda." The game is played when two contestants enter the circle & begin to "ginga" ("to swing" in Portuguese), launching various attacks, counters & initiating defense.
