has anyone heard of it? its this kickass marshal art that is kind of like brakedance righting but not at all. it has a totally cool history. i take classes and its really fun. a short history of it was like:(story telling vioce) once a long time ago in brazil there were slaves. the slaves wanted to be free and started secretly forming a martial art but desquised it as a dance so the slave masters would be none the wiser. the dance was called capoeira and it spread throughout brazil quickly. slaves would excape and make entire cities in the forest teaching capoeira and busting out slaves. finally the slaves revalted agaisnt the masters and one brazil over. end of story...

i studied capoeria for 2 years in oregon. I cant find a mestre' in montana. Capoeria is really amazing. It was developed in brazil by slaves. They created a martial art in order to free themselves, and disguised it as a dance. I really really recommend trying it, it is soo much fun, and really helps with athleticism.

capoeria is cool though because its like a game. Instead of going and playing basketball, you go 'play' capoeria. I just see it being alot more fun then other martial arts. To answer your question, yes breakdancing did originate from caperoia. Some of the moves are completely the same.

yeah i took five intence weeks of it. its serious. the hardcore fightern used to be in the feilds practicing and their masters thought they were dancing when they were fighting. Those cats put pieces of glass in between their toes and would do backflips into peoples faces and shit. its so serious.
