In 2000, being in Rio de Janeiro, I saw street acrobats. They carried out jumps one through another, and one of acrobats somehow strange turned on the place, crossing from one leg on another and at some point even leaning on hands. Unfortunately, in a picture the acrobat was depicted in a semi-squat standing, that is in the pose which is not giving ideas of nature of the movement at all. Then I did not know yet that the acrobat showed art capoeira - the Brazilian martial art which soon became popular and in world.
Elements of capoeira are stylized under the acrobatic and dancing movements. The duel occurs under music and without contact with the opponent. The fight purpose - by means of attacks and acrobatic exercises to solve intentions of the opponent and to discompose it. In the fitness version which is offered to the visitors by fitness clubs acrobatic exercises are simplified, but to seize them, it is necessary to sweat fairly
