Capoeira is a martial art from Brazil. A martial art is a type of sport that is a form of self-defense. Karate and
judo are other examples of popular martial arts.
Capoeira looks like a mix of fighting and dancing. It is a fast sport because the people doing capoeira, often
called “players,” need to stay in motion. Each player moves to make it difficult for the other person to kick or hit
them. Players need strong legs because kicking is a big part of the sport. Players usually attack with their legs,
not their arms. Sometimes one person falls to the floor. But the goal of capoeira is not to hurt the other player.
Capoeria is all about skill. Players need to avoid the opponent’s attacks. Also, they need to confuse or trick the
other player. Some moves make a player think their opponent will move one way, but they move the other way.
Capoeria players are sometimes called capoeiristas. Two capoeristas practice within a large circle of people
who usually sing and clap while they watch. Often there is music playing to help the capoeiristas keep in
motion. People do capoeria indoors and outdoors. The players don’t need any equipment. They usually wear
a white T-shirt and loose white pants. The T-shirts often have the name of the players’ clubs on them. Many
players don’t wear shoes. Those who do, need light-weight shoes with a good grip on the sole.
