Capoeira originated in Brazil during the 16th century, developed by African slaves who blended their cultural traditions with elements of Brazilian indigenous and Portuguese influences. It was initially practiced as a form of resistance and self-defense disguised as a dance to evade detection by slave masters. Over time, capoeira evolved into a martial art that encompasses music, acrobatics, and improvisation, becoming a symbol of Afro-Brazilian culture. Today, it is celebrated worldwide for its artistic expression and athleticism, maintaining its roots in community and cultural identity.
