Capoeira can be an effective fitness regime because it’s a fun and challenging way to develop both mental and physical strength through self-expression. This multidisciplinary art form focuses on the musical, physical, artistic, and creative aspects of its practitioners. Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art developed over 500 years ago by enslaved Africans in Brazil. Capoeira is a unique combination of martial arts, acrobatics, dance, and culture.
