CAPOEIRA

Is an afro-Brazilian art form that tirualizes movement from martial arts, games and music.

Capoeira´s origins are not clear bit it said to be a combination of African and Brazilian martial arts.
There are those who believe it is a direct descendant of African fighting styles.
Others see it as a uniquely Brazilian art form distilled from various African and Brazialian influences.
The best working theory is that Capoeira is an African fighting style that was developed in Brazil.

In these pictures I have tried to capture the real spirit of Capoeira as seen, so major photoshop work was done except rotating few images etc.

Let me introduce you to Capoeira Boa Vontande! A group of Capoeiristas spreading the Capoeira spirit in Finland.
