The tradition
Capoeira Regional is a style of capoeira created by Bimba's reform of traditional capoeira in the 1930s. Capoeira regional is presented as a Brazilian product and as a legitimate and effective martial art. The base of capoeira regional is the traditional capoeira Angola without many of the aspects that were impractical in a real fight. Training focuses mainly on attack, dodging and counter-attack, giving high importance to precision and discipline. Bimba also added various moves from other arts, notably the batuque, an old street fight game played by his father. The traditions of roda and capoeira game were kept, being used to put into practice what was learned during training.¶
