Capoeira
Capoeira () is an Afro-Brazilian martial art and game that includes elements of dance, acrobatics, capoeira music, music, and spirituality. It likely originated from enslaved Mbundu people, of the Kingdom of Ndongo, in present-day Angola. The Mbundu of Ndongo had a formal military in which soldiers were professionally trained for combat. When Mbundu people were captured and sold into the Atlantic Slave Trade, they would have brought these fighting abilities with them to Brazil, where it developed into Capoeira. It is known for its acrobatic and complex manoeuvres, often involving hands on the ground and inverted kicks. It emphasizes flowing movements rather than fixed stances; the ''List of capoeira techniques#Ginga, ginga'', a rocking step, is usually the focal point of the technique.

Anibal Burlamaqui
Anníbal Burlamaqui (1898–1965), known as Mestre Zuma, was a Brazilian customs officer, poet, boxer and a prominent advocate for the sport of capoeira during its prohibition. He was one of the main proponents of the fighting-oriented ''capoeira carioca'', without dance, music, and rituals. Burlamaqui's efforts were part of a broader movement by educated Brazilians to destigmatize capoeira and promote it as a national sport.

He states that he learned Greco-Roman wrestling at eighteen, and later trained boxing. He was a true athlete and a very different character from the traditional cariocan capoeira of that time.
