Capoeria, a combination of defense, acrobatics and rhythm is a reflection of Brazilian culture and was created by African slaves as a martial art. It possesses a very unique style, helps to develop mental balance, and increases physical conditioning. Music is not incidental to Capoeira; it is one of the most important elements in the art. It creates the atmosphere in which Capoeira can be expressed. Capoeria is practiced and performed in a circle, while following ritualistic movements.
