On the website of Discovery Channel, Capoeira is classified as martial arts. After watching coach Li's class, I feel that the moves in it are quite similar to China Wushu, and some of the movements to support balance are very similar to yoga. But the historical and cultural background of this project is completely different.
The origin of fashion movement
The word Capoeira has several different meanings, one of which refers to the barren land in the forest or jungle; Another meaning comes from Congolese, which means flapping wings and struggling, especially the duel of roosters. There are several theories about the origin of this fitness program. One is Capoeira, a martial art invented by Brazilian slaves in the 6th century to resist their employers. This method was integrated into dance, and later musical instruments, clapping hands and singing were added to cover up martial arts. Capoeira is good at deceiving the enemy with unexpected tricks, and her flips and gyrations are really amazing.
Another way of saying it is: Capoeira is a martial art form that combines African and Brazilian cultures. Since15th century, it has developed from West African slaves sent to South America to defend the culture and religion that followed them across the ocean. It was not until around 1937 that Capoeira had a special martial arts school. Since then, capoeira has become a national sport in Brazil, and it quickly became popular all over the world in the1970s.
Coach Lee said that all sports have their own names and different stories. But they all come from Portuguese, so the names are not easy to remember. With the development of this unique culture, it quickly spread all over the world, incorporating different elements, and adding elements such as handstand and somersault to other sports forms, such as street dance. This powerful project has become more easily accepted by the public, and even walking into the gym has become a way of fitness.
