Capoeira Zeist - Grupo Soluna

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines fighting techniques with dance, music, tradition, and acrobatics into a playful game. It emphasizes playfulness, energy, agility, and camaraderie. Originating from rituals brought by the African population during slavery in Brazil, capoeira is performed in a circle called the 'roda', where two players engage in a physical dialogue of attacks, counterattacks, defenses, and takedowns. The practice also includes training in various techniques and acrobatics, while music and rhythm play a vital role in every lesson, enhancing communication and integration skills.
