USM Capoeira Club

Capoeira is a Brazilian art form which combines martial art, dance, musical rhythm and movement. Capoeira is a dialogue between players - a conversation through movement which can take on many shades of meaning. Capoeira started 400 years ago in Brazil, when the Portuguese brought slaves from Africa to work in their plantations in South America. Capoeira emerged out of the traditional roots of those African slaves as means of achieving their liberation.
