Never heard of or tried Capoeira? Well then, it is something you need to get in touch with, immerse yourself in a game of musical fighting, and reveal your unknown skills! Capoeira is basically game fighting between two people, don’t stress, you learn to attack and defend through non-contact movements! But it isn’t that simple, it is full of skill, strategy, dance, and acrobatics, where you need to use intuition to trick, trip, and defeat your partner!
