Learning Capoeira
C: USA | L: English | Not Rated | RT: 90 min.
Capoeira is the most elaborate martial art
of the African Diaspora: a spectacular combination of dance, acrobatic
kicks, and evasive maneuvers. Typically played as a game in which two
players vie to control space, demonstrate superior mobility, and trick
by trip, kick, or head-butt each other to the ground at a moment of
vulnerability, Capoiera resembles a combination of acrobatic dance,
martial arts sparring, and improvised musical performance.
