Capoeira is a hybrid of martial arts and dance. Capoeira is an original Brazilian Martial Arts which is very fluid and acrobatic focusing on kicks, punches, knee strikes and evading attacks. One of the biggest assets a capoeirista has is the ability to dodge and move around like a boxer who "bobs and weaves" to side-step.
