Capoeira Angola

There is evidence to suggest that the word originates in Angola, where the word "kapwera" is the Bantu verb meaning "to fight".[7] The word capoeira may have come from the Tupi language, referring to the areas of low vegetation in the Brazilian interior where the game was played (ka'a ("jungle") e pûer ("it was"). It was practiced by slaves and disguised as a dance in order to prevent its capoeiristas from punishment or execution for learning how to fight and defend themselves, which was forbidden to those who were legally defined as property.
