This is a game called life.
Capoeira is an African Brazilian martial art practice that is a dance, game, and fight all at once. A practitioner of capoeira for over 15 years, James has studied extensively in both regional and Angola schools of capoeira. His practice has led him to years of rigorous training and the development of a unique teaching style that is family-centered and integrates movement philosophies from both forms of traditional capoeira.
