The most popular unknown martial art in the world

Ben takes us through how Capa grew in Brazil, not just as a martial art, but as a form of resistance and cultural expression. We talk about how enslaved Africans in Brazil created this unique style, disguising it as a ritual to avoid punishment, and how it evolved despite intense restrictions—even the public assembly of Black people was outlawed until the 1930s! Ben shares incredible details about the African influence on Brazilian culture, where around 80% of enslaved Africans were sent, and how they left a lasting legacy, even fighting battles in the jungle and resisting colonial forces. This is not just about a martial art; it’s a story of resilience, history, and a powerful cultural connection that lives on today.
