Hello everyone, my dear friends. Today I want to tell you about a sport that is very interesting for me. It is called capoeira. I will talk about this sport from Brazil, because it is a national sport in this country. I decided to choose it because it seems to me quite cool and unusual.
Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art sport that combines elements of acrobatics, dance, games and is accompanied by national music.
As a rule, in competition there two people.
Capoeira has different with other types of combat sports because it has another technique. In capoeira people do acrobatic elements and hardly ever hit each other.
There is no special equipment, there is only a white suit and a belt, that is all.
History of creation: when slaves were brought from Africa, they had to run to the Amazon jungle and create their own groups . “Quilombos” - join some Indian groups. Also they need to protect theirselves.
Now historical capoeira - appeared, that from those situation they create a sport capoeira.
The largest and most popular tournament is the International Capoeira Championship Casa de Bambas - Ubuntu, which took place from September 14 to 17, 2023 in Hamburg.
