capoeira

Unless you mean to say that a great many people (both in Brazil and internationally) were already practicing Capoeira before it was legalized...

Then I realised it was a funk-infused cover of a traditional capoeira song, so I steuck up a conversation with the other rider about Brazil and capoeira.

The undergound capoeira societies might have provided a useful template for other sorts of resistance.

While the Wushu schools seemed, 'ehhh, pretty good I guess', the Capoeira school was an instant 'Hell yeah!' - so now I'm doing Capoeira and having a beyond great time.

Some examples of such purely artisitic/ritualistic/sporty arts are sumo, aikido, capoeira, Krav Maga, and quite a few others.

I'm skeptical that capoeira played so significant a role in overthrowing governments, or even defeating local slaveowners.

I'm also learning Capoeira and learning to cook Brazilian BBQ, so I practice a bit at my local churrascaria.

I found martial arts (Muay Thai and Capoeira in my case) to be a good way to stay healthy.

You might discover you both like capoeira or that you both hate Nopa, or you might discover they love cilantro and you hate it.

I study a Brazilian martial art called Capoeira that was practiced by Brazil's slave population for about 400 years [...] finally the slaves overthrew their slave masters using Capoeira to forge modern Brazil.

Kayaking, capoeira, rock climbing, whatever feels interesting to you.

Why I was dabbling in capoeira my trainer pointed multiple times, that my mediocre stamina during train sessions was due my holding my breath.

Definitely has a bit of a Capoeira "trust me bro this would work great in a real fight" vibe in all the videos.

Because of its dance-like movements, Capoeira is often marketed as "yoga meets breakdancing meets pilates meets tae-bo" in order to attract women, which is probably what your local studio is doing.

For example I know a case in Brazil, that happened in the 70s, where repo men tried to take a Capoeira Master car, and he just grabbed his huge "Peixeira" knife and chased the repo men away.

I have a feeling that this is going to turn into one of those exchanges where we capoeira around theory and definitions and what "real" is and what "real" isn't in a way I have to think that either you've lived a sheltered life, or are in denial or have some kind of resentment toward the disgusting, vile and immoral things that you've witnessed that were "harmful" to you (I'm not a therapist).

I knew this word (though I did not know it means wheel) because of the Roda in Capoeira.

Capoeira for a great full body fitness and all round physical confidence.

Capoeira as a martial art disguised as a dance.
