About Capoeira Gran Bwa
Our History
Capoeira was created by enslaved Africans in Brazil in the 1500s who were forbidden from practicing fighting. As a result, Capoeira was disguised as a song and dance, which evolved into a dynamic martial art discipline.
Capoeira is traditionally practiced by two players, or "Capoeiristas" who who perform a series of acrobatic attacks and evasions within the circle ("roda"). The dance-like combat is accompanied by participants who clap, sing and play instruments such as the "berimbaus", drum, tambourine and "agogô". Hence, the practicing develops the ability to defend and attack in innovative and efficient ways.
