description of the school
Created by slaves in the North East of Brazil about 400 years ago, Capoeira had to be practiced in secret lest its lethal potential be discovered by the slave masters. Today, two major styles of Capoeira have spread worldwide from Brazil — Angola and Regional. Regional, is known for its fluid acrobatic play, where martial technique and whirling movement dominate. Angola is characterized by slower movements, tricky play and dramatic poses.
