Cool Capoeira Photos





I won’t bother you much and explain what Capoeira is. Just a brief quote from Wikipedia: “Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, and music.



It was created in Brazil mainly by descendants of African slaves with Brazilian native influences, probably beginning in the 16th century. It is known by quick and complex moves, using mainly power kicks and quick leg sweeps, with some ground and aerial acrobatics, knee strikes, take-downs, elbow strikes, punches and headbutts.” I only know that from first look at the Capoeira (I think it was in Van Damme’s Bloodsport) I was just stunned and amazed! Grace, fluidity of movement, rhythm – for me, it looked damn good! These are just few of my favorite capoeira photos!
