The Brazilian capoeira is broken down into 3 basic elements: ginga, esquiva, and floor movements.
"Capoeira is one of the many cultural manifestations born in Brazil in the face of European colonization. It is a martial art that was practiced by the African slaves as a means to protect themselves from their oppressors over 400 years ago. Capoeira is a vigorous art form with roots in the ceremonial dances of the Bantu people. Its elements of ritualized combat weave together an intricate dialog of movements combined with aspects of dance, acrobatics, music rhythm and self-defense. Capoeira transcends the barriers of age, gender and ethnic background and creates a strong sense of community. It develops discipline, self-confidence, and helps open one's mind to another culture giving a deeper world wide perspective. A capoeira practitioner will develop physical and mental balance, as well as spatial, social and cultural awareness."--Container.
