Capoeira - a MISCHIVIOUS ART FORM

Many people see it as a martial art --
others as a dance, and there those who
believe that it is their religion and cultural identity.

The description of Capoeira varies according to people's personalities.
It is a native Brazilian Indian word given to a small partridge whose
male is very jealous and engages in fierce fights with its rivals.
Capoeira blends elements of dance, music, rituals, acrobatics, and
fighting.

Anyone can find some form of identity in Capoeira. Let's take for
instance somebody who lives in a big city like New York. He will
probably see Capoeira as a martial art or as a form of self-defense.
Because of the intensity of the city, and the challenges that he faces
everyday, it makes him a natural "warrior" and he brings this instinct in
to Capoeira's circle.

Brazilians call Capoeira a game. Capoeira is "played", not fought

The Roda
A circle is made, called a roda. Music is played, and everyone sings and
claps while two players interact in the center. The leading instrument
is a berimbau. Also played is a drum called an atabaque and a
pandeiro (tambourine). A berimbau is a one stringed, bow shaped
instrument with a gourd attached to one end to give resonance.

"It's subtle blending of gymnastics and dance moves make the capoeira
game unique in the world of martial arts. The challenge for the player
is to harmoniously meld together in a powerful flow the balance and
flexibility of acrobatics, the grace and strength of dance, the speed and
cunning of the fight, and the rhythms of the music.

Did you Know?
Brazil, America, and Baccalhauland

This story is true, and tragic. It is about Brazil and how it got its name. In
fact there are two stories here:
1. Brazil, the name and idea, existed long before the country, and
2. How America was originally Brazil and how Brazil (Called America for
the first 50 years of European discovery) losts its name (sort of) to what is
now popularly termed America, but was originally known as Flowerland or
Codfishland. Think of it this way... the good old US of A could have become
the United States of Codfishland. It doesn't have a same ring to it...
