Capoeira Zeist - Grupo Soluna

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines fighting techniques with dance, music, tradition, and acrobatics to create a game. It emphasizes playfulness, energy, mobility, and camaraderie. Originating from rituals brought by the African population during slavery in Brazil, capoeira is played in a circle called the 'roda', where two players engage in a physical dialogue with attacks, counterattacks, defenses, and takedowns. The practice also includes training in various techniques, strength, endurance, and acrobatics, with music and rhythm being integral components of every lesson.
