Capoeira is a Brazilian martial arts that is usually performed on the streets. I happen to photograph a few such performances. Please share your own images of Capoeira if you have any.

Neat photos. I once lived in Brazil and I have a great love for the country.

Capoeira is also traditionally practiced with knives lashed to the feet.

Capoeira was developed by slaves in Brazil who had to disguise it as dance to avoid arousing suspicion among the slave owners.
