7 months ago African slaves created Capoeira in Brazil. It comes from african rituals, war strategies and religious believes. But it was all new once crearted as Capoeira. It wa snothing like the african stuff.

And all martial arts deserv respect, if once can not give this respect, he knows nothing and his ignorances is enough as to ignore his comment.
