Once synonimous to slavery, outlaws and violence, Capoeira
is now well known all over the world as an art form, and has
fascinated thousands.
Generally, Capoeira is divided in two: Capoeira Regional
and Capoeira Angola. Capoeira Regional is a modern and popular
form of capoeira. Capoeira Angola is the original form, created
in Brazil by african slaves.
Capoeira Angola has roots in one of the wedding rituals of
the Bantu tribe, where the Dance of the Zebra, the N´golo,
was a sparring between young warriors. That is why the Zebra
makes part of our logo.
Capoeira Angola is a sparring between friends, an exciting
game in the middle of the "roda", a ring formed
by musicians and singers.
It is fight, dance, play, music and philosophy, all in one.
