capoeira

Capoeira is a 400 year old Afro-Brazilian art form that was developed as a method of expression and self defense by the African slaves in Brazil. Today it is Brazil's second largest sport after soccer, and is fast becoming a global recognized art and sport form. It's distinctive blend of martial arts, dance, ritual, music attracts people of all types. It's emphasis on functional core strength, flexibility and balance makes it an ideal workout.

Capoeira is called a "jogo", or game, in Portuguese, the language spoken in Brazil. This game is played in a circle of participants, the "roda". Inside the roda, two players will play capoeira - using rhythmic movements, kicks, sweeps and evasions. They play capoeira to the music created by other players, who use instruments specific to capoeira - the Berimbau, (the stringed bow), the Atabaque (the floor drum) and the Pandeiro (a tambourine). The music sets the tone for the type of game to be played.

not exactly...

" Fast tempos dictate games where the players throw fast, powerful kicks and blows at each other, along with movements reminiscent of the most acrobatic gymnastics. Slower tempos dictate more dance like interaction, and more deception between the two players. Lyrics to songs reflect the action. For example, if one player is obviously losing his cool, the Mestre might sing a traditional song about a bawling child who is crying. The lyrics serve to remind the upset player that he is losing his cool, and hence emotional balance, a key to good Capoeira play.

On it's deepest level, Capoeira transcends martial arts, music and ritual and is a philosophical framework for approaching and interacting with the others and the world at large. It is a deep and holistic art form that pushes the practitioner to the proverbial limits - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually."

hey man im greek i dont know about that south american karate sh*t interesting nontheless....

im not from brazil but that doesnt mean i cant educate myself stuff that deals with it.

you reminded me of a chirs rock quote when he was talking about '*****s like to be stupid' he said 'yeah man, i can count, 1-2-4-5, countin these rocks *****'

classic ignorance at its best.

yes exactly because modern people who practice capoeira take it for the show aspect of it. no one who takes it does it as part of the ritual. at least no one that i know (i know several masters of capoeira).

there is a show aspect of it and yes people take it for that, but not for the 'showcase' aspect. theres a difference.
