Hello group. As I read over the article, I felt like Capoeira in a way looks like karate. The only difference is that you do not touch each other. How Capoeira was created in the 16th-17th century. How it was created was, when the slaves were out on the sugar cane plantation they created thisb kind of fighting called Capoeria, but they had to disguise it as some sort of folk dance. When they did Capoeria you did not touch each other, but you came very close to. As it came more common, slaves would get in to circles to perform these acts. The the 1890’s Brazil outlawed Capoeira, and you were punished if you were caught doing it. Capoeira has survived over 500 years, it is still around today not only in Brazil but all over the world. Recently Capoeira dances were choreographed into a performance, and was played on So You Think You Can Dance Canada. This article has gave me a better understanding of what we are learning about. http://www.suite101.com/content/the-origins-of-capoeira-a90104 Amber p Section:5701
Hello :) Capoeira is an ancient style of fighting, from Africa, disguised as a folkloric dance, when African slaves were brought to Brazil. The slaves continued to learn the Capoeira to keep some of their culture, but to also have a way to fight back against their owners if there was ever a revolt. In public, contact was never made, but if it was a fight, how was it decided who won? Eventually music was added to keep the energy strong, but the slaves sang in Portuguese. If it was a folkloric dance from Africa, why did they not sing in their native language to keep up the disguise?

Maybe ^ that will help with understanding the Capoeira.
My name is Alexis and I am a nursing major. We as a group looked at the article on Capoeira which is an acrobatic fighting in a dancing way. It was created by African slaves in the 1500’s on sugar cane plantations. The slaves had to be very careful about how they would perform Capoeira because, they couldn’t make it look like it was a fighting technique or they would get into trouble. The slaves made Capoeira look more like a dance mixed with martial arts. An interesting fact that I saw in the article was that it was banned by brazil in the 1890’s but; what I found more interesting is that they brought it back and now the dance martial arts game has been around for almost 500 years. The article was very interesting but the question that I have is I wonder if Capoeira was never banned if it would be more known and popular all around the world today? The link below helped with showing me how Capoeira is known in states with the US. It gives a little further information about Capoeira you all should check it out!! http://www.capoeirabrasil.com/
Hello Group, Capoeira is a form of "dance fighting" that uses not stop flowing movement but you never touch each other. Created in the 16th and 17th century as a form of folklore dancing by slave, it was actually an elusive fighting styleto be used if the slaves were to ever revolt. Even though it was outlawed in the 1890's it has survived for more than 500 years and is found in many countries around the world. One thing I noticed that this type of fighting style was not new to me. In fact I had seen this type of "dance" fighting style before not in person but in major movies and video game titles. Think of Ocean's Twelve, the french thief in the movie not only practices capoeria on his patio but uses it to break into the museum. Ong Bak, there is a fight seen in this movie were Tony Jaa, a Muay Thai champion fighter, take on a brazilian fighter. Think of Street Fighter, DeeJay, one of the character, uses a dance type fighting style. Another title is Tekken, Eddy Gordo, again uses the same dance fighting style. It just goes to show you how far an popular this fighting style ha become, and hows its still practiced and used to this day.

Here are a few vids I found on youtube to give you a visual aspect on capoeria in movies.
Hope all is well, my name is Rachel. I'm a criminal justice major here a JCTC. This article on the Capoeria dance is very interesting. The fact that the slaves found such a positive way to be productive and express freedom is truly unique. The evasive actions of the people practicing the dance make it even more interesting. By softening actions that are normally meant to be harmful, the African slaves made the best of their situation. The masters of the dance who took it upon themselves to pass down the traditon to later generations give the culture more than a fighting chance at survival in the future. The only question I would like to know is why was the dance was outlawed in the 1890s? I would love to watch a traditional Capoeria dance. Hopefully the festival here on campus provides me with that chance.
Hello Group, here is some information i found on exactly what Capoeira is. Capoeira is a Brazilian art form that combines elements of martial arts, sports, and music. It was created in Brazil mainly by descendants of African slaves with some very limited Brazilian native influences, probably beginning in the 16th century. It is known by quick and complex moves, using mainly power kicks and quick leg sweeps, with some ground and aerial acrobatics, knee, take-downs, elbows, punches and headbutts.
I'm Chris P. I'm a Criminal Justice major. This articulate is about the human spirit's ability to over come oppression, how you may ask? Well look at it this way Capoeira was a style of fighting originally designed to be used in a slave revolt it had to be kept secrete and hidden from there masters. So they made it look like a dance.It soon grow into to something larger and with more freedom. Now it represents the struggle that the African slaves had to go through in Brazil. It represents there long road to freedom. This dance/ marshal art is now very popular and celebrated through out there country and is a part of it's rich history.
Hello Group, I’m Holli G. I’m an Education major, and I will be transferring to UofL in the Fall, where I will complete my teaching degree. Soon after the discovery of Brazil in 1500, four million African slaves were sent there in the slave trade. This largely effected Brazil still having the largest Black population (after Nigeria). They were many miles from home and tried to hold close at least some aspects of their culture through their oppression. In order for them to do this, they turned combat techniques into a style of martial arts. They were unable to fully practice this though, because it quite possibly would’ve intimidated their oppressors. So in an effort to protect themselves and their culture, they made Capoeira look like a folkloric dance. It became more widely practiced, and even branched off into different types, and music was eventually incorporated. Today it is practiced all around the world and like slavery itself, Capoeira would not exist without the musical aspect. The following link is said to be “The best capoeira video ever,” but you can be the judge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8xxgFpK-NM
I'm so glad all of you seemed to enjoy the art of Capoeira! There will be a lot of capoiera at the Arts & Culture festival, so hopefully you'll be able to see it happen - you might get a chance to participate in some Capoiera exercises with the group! There are several interesting questions here - I'll leave most of them for you all to answer, but I did find part of the reason it was outlawed: "When capoeiristas discuss this post slavery period of repression they often refer to the fact that capoeira was "marginalized." The black lower class was pushed to the periphery of the society, and therefore the artform that was popular among this class was also marginalized. There was nothing innately immoral about capoeira, but it was practiced by the undersireable element of the community." (http://www.capsprings.com/History/History3.aspx) How does that fact enhance your understanding of the issues surrounding Capoiera? Also, what sort of instruments are involved in the practice, and what is sung while the fighters "dance?" Great job on this post by everyone involved!
Whats Up Group, well I don't know about the rest of you but my understanding of capoeira, its history and how far its got in this modern world is impressive to say the least. Honestly I would give it a try if I were in better shape. HAHAHA. For instance, Holli G. has a really good video that shows the fluid motion and gives you a better understanding of what it takes metally as well as physically to perform capoeira. Also Erin M. had some very good questions that i never thought about so I included a few links to back up and hopefully answer her points and questions.
Hello Group!! I am referring to Nicole Z. post and how she was wondering how you could tell who won with Capoeira. I thought that was a good question because, I was wondering the same thing. I think I might have found an answer with further research; you have to know the game to win the game. The reasoning is because; if you were to get taken down by a kick or a head kick then you would lose. I’m thinking that Capoeira is similar to any other fighting. Here is a website of some Capoeira fighting tips that kind of help answer my questions. http://www.mademan.com/mm/10-capoeira-fighting-tips.html. I also thought Amber P. comment about Capoeira being like karate was a good idea because, I can see where they are similar. I learned a lot from reading all of your alls post.

Hello Group, All of your links where helpful and provided different views on the understanding of Capoeira. I am person who understands more visually than actually reading so the video links were a plus for me. Ben B. had some very interesting video links that I thought were pretty cool. The Ocean's Twelve movie scene provided a more Americanized version also adding what looks like to be break dancing moves. Chris P. provided the link that showed us just how much the Capoeira dance means in the history of the Brazilian culture. I also took a look at the group that focused on the music of Brazil. The music and the dance complement each other perfectly. The music of Brazil derives from the Native Americans which gives the music a powerful response to the dancer. The different musical instruments they use create the mood of the dance. I believe this is why Capoeira means so much to their culture.
I’m a big History and culture buff so I found all the links and post very interesting. I also really loved the pop culture references thanks Ben B for putting those in your post I never realized that was Capoeira. Also Thanks for the links in your post as well that’s a great scene from Oceans 12. Plus thank you MS M for you is kind comments on our posts.
I also read James V’s post on the Brazil Carnival and he’s right it seems really fun I would love to go to it. That’s was a great link on the history on the carnival very informative. From Christopher P
Dear group six, My name is Candace B. and I am in group two, we were told to comment on another group, so here I am. I love watching Capoeira. It’s such an amazing fight/dance to watch. I was visiting the campus last semester before I started attending, and I was lucky enough to be here while some people were giving a demonstration of Capoeira. It was so much fun to watch, listen to the music, and chant along with the other people. At the end, the speaker asked for volunteers to participate in some minor moves. I volunteered, and I had a blast attempting this fluid and ancient dance fight. I enjoyed watching Ben B.’s youtube videos of Capoeira Candace B.
Im referring to Christopher P, the way he explained it made it make so much more since. I liked how he said, this dance/marshal art is now very popular now cause I feel like this dance is a lot similar to marshal arts and karate. I also enjoyed to videos he posted, they gave me a way better understanding of the dance.
I also am wondering the same this as Rachel J. why was the dance outlawed in 1890? I was also wondering the same thing.
I had a similar line of thinking as Ben B., about the French thief from Ocean's 12. It is true that this is probably a more Americanized version of Capoeria (even though it was a French thief). :} Reading all these posts and visiting the links, I feel like I have a much better understanding of this dance. These slaves seem like they had to be very brave individuals in order to preserve this part of their culture. Erin M asked what instruments were used and I ran across this when I was making my first response. Our group’s link actually answers this question.
“Instruments were eventually incorporated into the game, including the berimbau, agogô, and reco-reco. “
This has been a very interesting project to work on. I certainly have learned quite a bit about Brazilian culture and am looking forward to attending the cultural festival.
I am Joey D. I was interested in the Capoeira topic because I am a marital artist and learning new things about other ones always grabs my interest. I can relate to some of the things they do in capoeira because of the kicks they are throwing but they tend to be a little wilder and less controlled than a traditional martial art. But the unconventionality of these kicks make them unexpected and more affective in some situations because it is so unorthodox. And that is the beauty of Capoeira.
I am Greg F and I was interested in capoiera because my friends are involved in martial arts (specifically tae kwon do). After watching them fight and practice I find capoiera to be unorganized and spastic (or like a squirrel). Its fun to watch but it doesn’t accomplish much.
Hello, I really liked watching capoiera because it's so different. You use so much energy and you would have to know what the other person is doing or be ready for anything, which makes it more fun. E.S.
