Music and Rythms
Music is an intergal part of Capoeira. Berimbau, is a leading musical instrument, which dictates the rythm and sets the pace of the Capoeira game.In ABADA Capoeira we practice many games, such as:
Sao Bento Grande Regional the most famous, fast paced energetic game with many kicks and possibily of takedowns.
Benguela a slower game with constant movement, where players do more ground movements, and stay close to each other, while avoiding direct contact, a very technical game, which is excellent for developing tactical skills.
Amazonas a special game, where players, mimic movements of animals. Also a very technical game.
