The game of Capoeira is a fluid series of agile, acrobatic, and martial movements linked together to form a unique bodily conversation.
These games are an intricate exchange of circular and straight kicks, escapes, sweeps, takedowns, and gymnastic flourishes. They are a highly physical and athletic experience.
The gracefully strategic physical dialogue happens in the Roda, the circle where training manifests into games between two practitioners.
Music plays a central role in Capoeira. It sets the rhythm, the style of play, and the energy of a game as well creates aural space believed to provide connection to the spirit world.
