                             morte.A led to the African culture has given the new changes
                             reality and all the anger of a people will be shaping the eagerness of                                                             freedom, then the poultry is a struggle in the form of dance that reality became a                            dream called freedom.
                                                  .
       The Fight
                             The Capoeira is a fight to defend and attack in which practitioners
                             using feet and head and the hands of lower use of but never
                             minor for both the attack and in defense. Europeans
                             used to fight with their hands had not the slightest chance against
                             blacks and lost easily. You then banned the devices
                             the practice of the struggle between the slaves, under pressure from the Police
                             Republican and Imperial Militia, but They found a solution:
                             Capoeira disfaçaram the placing and mimic dances accompanied by
                             songs. When the foreman was the black "Playing in Angola"

                            people to practice so wrong, considering the Capoeira is a form of dance
                            or simply folklore for tourists see. It is clear that among the serious players in their
                            training, these attacks are only simulated and Capoeira is a physical and mental exercise.
                            violence of their blows, however, leaves no room for middle ground, or throw up
                            Capoeira 'real', with its serious consequences or just a game it emulates.

                             to my questions "- Mestre Moraes. The game of Capoeira as friendly, or
                             the wheel is truly a dialogue of bodies. Two capoeiristas part of the "foot" of
                             Berimbau and begin a slow ballet body of questions and answers, until a third
                            'buy the game' and it develops in succession until all enter the wheel.

                             body that deceives the opponent, is the differential of Capoeira on the other
                             martial arts. This is a feature not only learn coaching.
