There are several theories of the origin of capoeira, according to one of them, this art was introduced by fugitive African slaves. For a long time, capoeira was banned, and the first official school was opened in the city of El Salvador and since then has become an integral part of the culture and pride of Brazil. Then this spectacular sport conquered Europe and the rest of the world, where more and more schools began to open. But the Brazilians are still considered the best capoeiristas.
Capoeira is based on kicks, low stands, turns, handstands. Athletes are assigned ranks and belts of different colors. Capoeirista trousers are tied with a belt in a certain way. To obtain each rank, you must pass the technical and physical standards.
