By combining dance, music, and martial arts, Capoeira is a great way to experience both the music and culture of Brazil while getting fit, healthy, and strong. The Escola Brasileira de Capoeira Philippines is an association that has founded the first official school in Manila.
From their website:
With Brazilian teachers from the main school in Brasilia, Brazil, the school teaches capoeira in its fullest form: its history, philosophy, and the Brazilian culture in which it was cultivated.
It is a mixture of body and soul, of dance and fight, of instruments and voices. According to its history, Capoeira was created by imported Africans on Brazilian soil. It evolved as means of expression of the yearning for freedom and simultaneously as a form of entertainment.
