Capoeira
Brazilian style martial arts that include elbow slams, leg
strikes, and head butts. It originated with African slaves
in Brazil, and its moves were disguised as a fast-moving
dance. Because practitioner’s hands were manacled,
offensive maneuvers focused on kicks and sweeps.
Capoeira was taught secretly in societies called quilombos.
During the 1900s there was attempted prohibition
on quilombos and those who practice it. The practice
went underground for a while until the 1940s, when it
was legalized.
