Capoeira

"Capoeira is an energetic, often acrobatic, dance-like style of martial art. Capoeira was first practiced by African slaves who were taken to work in Brazil. Capoeira is primarily based around kicking, as a slave’s hands were normally manacled.

In Capoeira, many movements are carried out while in a handstand position, often resembling modern Breakdance moves.

There are a variety of forms of Capoeira, including where two people “play” fight each other inside a circle formed by spectators, while other members of the group play instruments and sing. The music dictates the speed or tempo of the movements.

See! Once again, not all martial arts come from Asia. It's actually pretty cool to visualize this fighting style in action. I'll fill this post up with a bunch of pictures too, cause you guys gotta see it!

Fancy, right?
Look it up on YouTube. It's way cooler to watch in motion.
