Capoeira is a 400-year-old martial art that blends music, dance, singing, and acrobatics to create a holistic approach to teaching self-defense. Originating in Africa, Capoeira was brought to Brazil by captured slaves from Angola. In this foreign land the Angolan people developed their practice into a method of defending themselves against their violent masters. A characteristic of Capoeira that helped to mask its purpose of defense is the avoidance of direct contact and threatening movements against an opponent. For this reason, modern capoeiristas still prize sneakiness and cunning over strength and aggression.
It can only be described as crazy when a whole family decides to enter into fighting disciplines! Nizaam Hartley is well known in the AWA circle and, more so, after he broke his leg during the TV show. Now his children are following in his footsteps to be the next fighting sensations. On Sunday 5th October the second annual national Capoeira competition was held in Randburg, Johannesburg. Thaakir Hartley, 8, mesmerized the crowd with his lightning fast acrobatic skills. His flair, speed and unwavering energy had the crowd cheering for more. Not to be ousted, his brother Ubaid,9, displayed unusual technical ability and took second place. The Hartley brothers have been learning the art of capoeira for the past 3 years and have recently even managed to convince mum, Mymoena to join! They are students of Beleza Graduado, of the Abada Capoeira group and can usually be seen training and playing at the Observatory Community Centre. For more information about this martial arts form taking SA by storm contact Marcio Lopes on 021 4474754 / 083 5066 026 or email: abadafrica@hotmail.com
