Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form that combines elements of martial arts, music, and dance. It was created in Brazil by slaves brought over from Africa. Participants form a roda (circle) and take turns playing musical instruments, singing, or sparring in pairs in the center of the circle. The sparring is marked by fluid acrobatic play, feints, and extensive use of sweeps and kicks.
Nearly everyone can practice Capoeira according to his/her natural abilities. It is one of the best physical activities you can do as the practice develops and improves endurance, agility, flexibility, speed, balance, coordination and rhythm. Furthermore it improves concentration, perseverance, daringness and cunning... you can’t lose! About Maculele Capoeira Academy Founder Francisco Antonio Rodrigues da Silva was born in Brazil (how did you know?), where he started practicing Capoeira at a young age. Francisco believes that to play Capoeira is to understand the history of the people who first expressed its fears, dreams and anxieties of liberty through body movement, and he is passionate about teaching this entrancing art form to students of all abilities.
