Só porque eles estão fazendo truques neste vídeo não significa que eles não conhecem capoeira

The two styles are Angola and Regional. Angola is the original capoeira and is played closest to the way the black slaves used to play it, strategically with sneaky movements to catch out the other player, so it was very unpredictable. In Regional Mestre Bimba removed things he thought were useless in a real fight and removed lots of acrobatic stating that a capoeirista should have at least one hand or foot on the floor at any time.

im not a researcher or a historian.But the little i know about caopeira's origins i learned when i attended a small presentation given by Mestre Cobra Mansa.

check again, it's roots are in Africa. and it is a black people's art, not an american indigenous one. I'm just repeating what I heard from a mestre in a presentation i attended about the history of capoeira.

Capoeira is purely Brazilian. Capoeira is a word from Tupi language (native brazilian indians), which means vegetation that grows after putting a forest down. It was never born in Africa. It was created here in Brazil by african slaves. Try travelling to Angola and asking if they know Capoeira.

We have 2 styles, Capoeira Angola and Regional.

Capoeira was not brought, it was born in Brazil.
