Past: Capoeira Workshop

Capoeira it's an Afro-Brazilian martial art form that originated from the slaves that were brought from Africa to work on the fields in Brazil. Being enslaved, they had to be discreet and secretive when planning their fight for liberation and thus created Capoeira: a style of self-defense which was disguised in the form of a dance so that the landlords wouldn't know that they were actually training to uprise and win their liberty.

Once the slaves won their freedom, they would get together in communities inside the jungle where they would relentlessly train Capoeira so they could go back liberate more people.

Capoeira has spread all over the world and in United States. It helping communities get together as a fun way to reinforce values such as friendship, respect, discipline and culture.
