A.S.D. Il Tamarindo

Capoeira is a game, a martial art, music, and body expression. It originated in the socio-cultural context of colonial Brazil as a tool for self-defense, liberation, and playful escape for oppressed and enslaved populations. Its roots are in Africa, but it is not fully African; it is the result of the fusion of many cultures and peoples who were denied their freedom over a century ago. Capoeira has deep roots and its practice proves useful even today, demonstrating that it is based on timeless principles. The benefits of this art are both physical and psycho-emotional, improving posture, muscle strength, motor coordination, flexibility, and balance, while fostering a sense of belonging and peaceful coexistence within a diverse community. It is a complete discipline that strengthens the body, opens the mind, and brings joy to the soul!
