Capoeira Roda (Circle or Ring where Capoeira is Played) Capoeira is game believed to have originated in the Bantu region of Africa and to have been transported to Brazil during the slave trade. In a capoeira game two players use a combination of acrobatic and martial arts movements to maneuver one another into a defenseless position. Capoeira games takes place inside a circular area called a "roda" (or circle in Portuguese) formed by the Capoeira players and onlookers. "Roda" is also the word used to describe the party or event in which several Capoeira games are played striking an opponent directly or deliberately is frowned upon in a capoeira game. Rather, the object of the game is to imply striking movements and to avoid them gracefully. |
