Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art melting fighting, acrobatics, singing, music, and cunning trickery. It is often known simply as o jogo, or "the game". Two capoeiristas play within the roda: a circle of people who clap, sing, and play traditional songs in Portuguese. The music provides energy to those who play.
The berimbau leads the roda, the other instruments, and the players, setting the tone of the game and even the way it is played.
The language of the music and the movements can really be learned only by experience with other Capoeiristas (people who study and train Capoeira).
Capoeira incorporates many different muscles of the body. It combines basic dance movements, martial arts, music, and acrobatics.
The practice of Capoeira helps improve ones cardiovascular system, endurance, flexibility, motor coordination and alertness as well as physical balance.
