Capoeira is a martial art of Afro-Brazilian origin. It is distinguished by its incorporation of acrobatic and dance movements as well as the integration of music into practice. A Capoeira match or "Jogo" takes place within a circle of players called a "Roda". As members of the roda sing and play instruments, two players, called "capoeiristas", enter and begin to spar. In the Jogo, typically, there is as much emphasis on the style and expressiveness of the players as on their martial prowess. The majority of strikes involve the feet and blows are evaded rather than blocked. The result is flowing, rhythmic and dynamic.

Found on the site entitled: www.capoeira.net

You can get a movie called "Only the Strong" and watch some of the moves, be advised that all is not true, however it will give you an idea of what it is all about. I liked the movie! :thumbs:

There are several different styles as well. Very fun stuff!

You might look into the phone book and/or contact some local martial artist for leads on an instructor.
