This art form originated in Brazil during the days of slavery, when slaves used it to express their emotions. The sport is still very popular in Brazil, and 10-year-old Jaõ and his mother and father all practice it. They stand in a circle out in the street and take turns dancing in the middle. In his voice-over, João tells how the technique has been handed down in his family from generation to generation, and that he wants to become a Capoeira master, like his great-great-grandfather, his grandfather and his father. "It's the most fun thing to do in the world, and I practice every day." His nickname is Maré. He encounters a formidable opponent in the circle; her nickname is Tatuí. Written by Anonymous See less
