We have many athletes training Capoera.
Kyle Shewfelt, Olympic Floor champion 2004, even considered adding Capoera elements to his routine.
Dozens of video games, TV commercials and films include Capoera movements.
So what is Capoera?
It’s a Brazilian martial art developed initially by African slaves. It’s interesting to coaches because it includes extreme acrobatic elements too difficult for gymnasts! One arm handstand spins, for example.
Good Capoeristas often also breakdance & take their acrobatics to the street.
There are plenty of video clips tagged with Capoera on YouTube.
