Or maybe u wanna try an exotic martial art like capoeira. Capoeira is a Afro-brazilian martial art form created by the slaves who were brought from Africa to Brazil by the Portuguese. So that they could practice this martial art the slaves had to create a way of fighting without their owners would find out they were training to get away of the Senzalas ( Slave houses ). They did it by combining fighting arts with acrobatics,music and dancing. Even though most people think only super-fit people can do capoeira, everyone can practice from 9 to 99, because capoeira its not those acrobatic and complex summpersaults that defy gravity, capoeira is a philosophy of life and even an effective self-defense style.
