Capoeira, a Brazilian Fighting Style was created by slaves approximately 400 yrs. ago. Capoeira possesses a very unique style that brings together beauty and power, developing mental balance, physical conditioning, self-defense, music and a profound sense of art, all at once. But Cap is more than a Martial Art. It's a mixture between fighting and dancing. And it is also a social event filled with tradition and history.
