About capoeira - 關於capoeira

Capoeira is defined as a game (jogo) where two players enter a circle (the roda) and exchange movements of attack and defence. The speed of the game is controlled by the musical instruments (3 berimbaus, 1 pandeiro and 1 atabaque).
Capoeira的定義是一個遊戲(jogo)，有兩個人進入圓圈(roda)，交鋒進攻與守方的動作。遊戲的速度被樂器(3個berimbau，1個 pandeiro鈴鼓，1個atabaque鼓)控制。

One does not block a kick in capoeira; rather, one goes along with the kick, avoiding the blow and then counterattacking if possible. A capoeirista doe not confront another face to face but tricks the other, pretends to be a coward and then attacks when his guard is down.
當capoeira不要阻止踢而隨著踢，避免，如果可能的話反攻。 Capoeirista(戰舞員)不面對人，而對人耍花招，假裝是膽小鬼，無防備時就攻擊。

Capoeira today comes in two different forms. The first and more traditional of the two is called capoeira angola, a slower, more ritualistic form. The second is called capoeira regional, a faster, more acrobatic form, which has only developed within the past 50 years. Capoeira regional is the main focus of Equipe Jô Capoeira.
Capoeira 今天有兩種不同的形式。第一，較傳統的稱為capoeira angola，速度較慢，更儀式的形式。第二稱為capoeira regional，一個更快，更雜技形式，只在最近50年發達。 Capoeira regional是Equipe Jô Capoeira的主焦點。

Capoeira was created in Brazil some time in the 18th or 19th century, by African slaves brought over to Brazil. It was a result of cultural fusion between the different African tribes that were brought over. There are many different theories as to how capoeira came about. One theory is that capoeira was a fight disguised as a dance so that it could be practised unbeknownst to the white slave-owners. Another theory is that it comes from an african dance style called N'golo (the dance of the zebras). In any case, the culture and traditions which accompany capoeira stem from Africa, and capoeira was outlawed in Brazil until the 1940s due to its links at the time with crime and poverty.
Capoeira是在18/19世紀巴西被非洲奴隸創造的。有很多理論關於capoeira怎麼創造。一個認為capoeira是戰爭假裝為跳舞，所以奴隸能練習而奴隸主不知道。另外一個理論是capoeira從非洲的n'golo（斑馬跳舞）發達。無論如何，佩服capoeira的文化與傳統來自非洲，至1940年代在巴西capoeira是非法的。

Equipe Jô Capoeira 團體成立的目的是促進Capoeira的藝術與文化發展，支持女性戰舞員。 C.Mestre Jô 於2005年10月18日在她的家鄉 - 巴西巴伊亞州(Juazeiro-Bahia)建立本團體。 本團體更在隨後的數年間推廣至不同國家並成立分部，包括巴西、美國、西班牙、日本與現在的香港分部。 Equipe Jô Capoeira分別有四位贊助大師 - 獵鷹大師(巴伊亞州薩爾瓦多市)、Jelon大師(美國紐約), 獅子狗大師(哥亞斯州哥亞尼亞市), 伊戈大師(巴西利亞市).

Equipe Jô Capoeira was established with the objective of promoting the art and culture of capoeira and supporting other female capoeiristas. C.Mestre Jô created the group on December 18th, 2005, in the city of Juazeiro-Bahia, her home town. Since its creation, the group now operates in the United States, Brazil, Spain, Japan and Hong Kong. The four patrons of the group, who support and work with Equipe Jô Capoeira, are Mestre Falcao (Salvador, Bahia), Mestre Jelon (New York), Mestre Pequines (Goiania), and Mestre Igor (Brasilia).
