Capoeira is a Brazilian art form, which combines dance, music and acrobatics with martial arts. Known as the secret dance of Brazil, Capoeira is an astonishing display of acrobatics, breath-taking kicks and self-defence tactics performed to the music of the Berimbau (an ancient stringed bow-like instrument) and drums. To say that Capoeira is just another martial art would be incorrect, because Capoeira is much more. It is culture, it is history and it is dance and music.
