Capoeira
The mission of Capoeira is to promote the art form of Capoeira and Brazilian culture throughout Purdue. More specifically, the goal is to help improve our members’ mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. Capoeira is an African/Brazilian art form that is a rich blend of culture, music, dance, and a deadly martial art. African slaves brought Capoeira to Brazil around 1537. The slaves were not allowed to practice any type of martial arts, so they developed their traditional dances into a fighting style.
