Abstract
Capoeira is an art form that originated in Brazil during the time of the slave trade. According to legend it was used as a form of communication and unification amongst the African slaves from varying tribes and lingual backgrounds in defying their masters. It has since developed in Brazil as a unique art form combining dance, song, and martial arts to provide both physical and emotional development and discipline for those involved.
