Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art developed by African slaves. Kicks, handstands, jumps, and footwork are combined to music. The music and African dance moves were added to disguise Capoeira when the slave owners banned its practice.
  Capoeira Malandragem was founded by Professor Dondi “Enxu,” and is located in Tucson, Arizona. “Apelidos” are kicknames given to participants. The "Roda" is the circle of people within which capoeira is played. People who make up the Roda's circular shape clap and sing along to the music being played for the two partners engaged in a Capoeira match or rather a "Jogo" (game).
