Capoeira is a martial art created in the 19th century by black slaves in Brazil. Practitioners are called capoeiristas, and instructors are called mestres.

Principles

Capoeira is performed to musical accompaniment, and its repertoire consists of almost entirely kicks. The basic fighting stance is dancelike and very rhythmic.
