It was a sunny winter's day in london, when i first heard the music. exotic instruments, hypnotic rhythms. i turned round. was it a dance? some sort of fight? acrobatics? "what is it? " capoeira ". 'capo what? " ca-po-ei-ra. a brazilian martial art. as i later discovered, it's all found of these things and more. it originated nearly 400 years ago as a form of self-defense amongst african slaves. they disguised it as a folk dance to make it acceptable, and it developed from there. brazilians say they 'play 'capoeira like a game, not a fight. it's quite difficult to learn, but i do not do it just to get in good physically fit; it's the mind-body-spirit connection that begins to change you. you meet so many different people? especially brazilians, and they have a completely different take on life. i used to be very shy, but i've lost some of my inhibitions-and i don't get uptight when things go wrong. i enjoy life and appreciate the good things. anyone can find some from of identity in capoeira. for instance, a big city person might see it as a dorm of self-defence, while for others it's a way of life. its philosophy is to release good energy. when everybody's facing each other in the circle, and the instruments are playing, and everybody's focusing on the two players in the middle, singing and clapping to the music, you're definitely going to feel something. and if you don't, then you're not doing it right. нужно составить 10 вопросов к тексту, чтобы там был ответ,
