Capoeira - Brazilian martial art, which is based on African traditions. Established as a weapon and as art, capoeira has appeared in conditions of slavery and racism. The variety of movements, a cascade of shocks and departures, acrobatics immediately attracts attention, but capoeira is also a tradition, spirituality and wisdom.
