What do you like most about Capoeira?

[Kamau R]

I'll start. I like the adaptive footwork and the ground-based movements. These contribute to Capoeira's uniqueness as a fighting art.

[Diallo Kenyatta]

The fact that capoeira was born in resistance to white oppression is what makes it most attractive to me.

[Kamau R]

No doubt. I was just teaching my son today about the role of Capoiera in the liberation struggle in Brazil.

[Obadele "Africano" Kambon]

Limitless possibility. And its potential to still be used as resistance to white oppression.

Capoeira is like a filing of fredom y beauty in movement and my words in inglis not are suficients for expalin every ting abaout of capoeira

[Jahsun Alaroye Lasana]

malicia
an underrated concept, but very important. it is like three card monte with the whole body, mind, and spirit. to me this is the simplicity and the secret of the art.

Greetings from Ghana.

I feel you. Sometimes I wish I could express to those who doubt the efficacy of Capoeira how malicia really could get at them and whatever they bring to the table...but if I expressed that to them, I'd be giving away the secret weapon...soooo...I just chill in quiet knowing...

[Sundiata Olugbala]

Personally, I find the history of resistance in Capoeira enriching. I love how creative it allows you to be while expressing yourself. I'm getting ready to start my first week of lessons, so I'll have to get back to you with my complete answer...
