Casa Da Capoeira South Africa Unclaimed

Capoeira ([ka.puˈej.ɾɐ]) is a Brazilian fight-dance, game, and martial art created by enslaved Africans during the 16th Century. Participants form a roda (circle) and take turns playing instruments, singing, and sparring in pairs in the centre of the circle. The game is marked by fluid acrobatic play, feints, subterfuge, and extensive use of groundwork, as well as sweeps, kicks, and headbutts.Currently under the guidance of Paulo Palinhos, Lucas Mthenjane and Hugo Soeiro, CDC now has a strong presence in Gauteng and Cape Town and under the banner of Capoeira Sporting Federation of Rio de Janeiro (FCDRJ) has also cemented significant relationships with other legitimate capoeira schools around the country. In addition, the school co-founded AAFRICAP, an association of Capoeira academies in Africa, with Durban’s Capoeira na Praia.For more information please contact us:http://www.capoeirasa.co.za
