Kadara Capoeira is a Brazilian Martial Arts school based in Gold Coast, Australia.
Capoeira is a Brazilian artform developed by African slaves in Brazil during the portuguese colonization during the 1500’s.
Our Gold Coast branch is run by Instrutor Tamandua. A 15-year Capoeira practioner and student of the great Mestre Cicatriz.
Having developed a series of fatal moves, they cunningly used music and song disguise their preparations to fight and often their masters were foolishly entertained by the beauty of their potentially dangerous training sessions. The element of disguise, which has become an integral part of capoeira, have throughout the centuries helped to distinguish the art from other forms of martial art combat. The unmistakeable rhythms of the Berimbau and the beauty of its acrobatic moves have awed every continent, infiltrated the movie industry and became incorporated into popular playstation games such as Tekken 3.
Today, two basic styles of capoeira exist. Capoeira Angola, a movement primarily developed by Mestre Pastinha and is the original style characterised by slow, sneaky movements played close to the ground. Capoeira Regional on the other hand is a newer, fast-paced, athletic style created by Mestre Bimba. It is combat-oriented and characterised by a sequence of attack-defence and counterattack blows. Modern capoeira regional includes a number of high jumps, acrobatics and spinning kicks which were originally not in Mestre Bimba’s style. In capoeira regional, the players traditionally wear white uniforms. They are ranked according to their ability by different coloured belts (cordas), which are group specific and rewarded at the annual Batizado (grading festival).
