Capoeira is a unique and dynamic Brazilian martial art that combines dance, music and acrobatics. It was created by Afro-Brazilian slaves in the 16th century, who used capoeira as a way to defend themselves against their oppressors, often disguised as a dance to avoid detection. The combination of fighting movements, athletic tricks and rhythmic music made it a difficult art form to understand, but also a source of resistance and cultural expression.
