Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian blend of martial art , game , and culture created by enslaved Africans in Brazil during the 16th Century.
Participants form a roda (circle) and take turns playing instruments, singing, and sparring in pairs in the center of the circle. The game is marked by fluid acrobatic play.
Capoeira has evolved from one main form, now referred to as ' Capoeira Angola ', and 'Capoeira Regional '
