Martial Arts

The Martial arts, like karate and boxing, are very popular. Capoeira is gaining importance in the country due to its similarity with an ancient Martial art called wautasar ("foot fight"). Capoeira was introduced by the end of the 90s by a Brazilian player, master Mutuca, who created the first Capoeira group in the country, the Ngaja Kapuwera Asyee Kaupèlan (Axé Kaupelan Capoeira Group).
