the roda
A Brazilian Martial Art, Capoeira was born in the “senzalas”, the places
where the slaves were kept. It consists of a stylized dance, practiced in a
circle called the “roda”, with sound background provided by percussion
instruments, like the “agogo”, the “atabaqui”, etc. It incorporates
“maculele”, done with blades, and “maracatu”, done with sticks.
Highly acrobatic, energetic and difficult to master. Many people
see it as a martial art -- others as a dance, and there those who
believe that it is their religion and cultural identity.
It is a native Brazilian Indian word given to a small partridge
whose male is very jealous and engages in fierce fights with
its rivals. Capoeira blends elements of dance, music, rituals,
acrobatics, and fighting.
Anyone can find some form of identity in Capoeira. Let’s take
for instance somebody who lives in a big city like New York.
He will probably see Capoeira as a martial art or as a form
of self-defense. Because of the intensity of the city, and the
challenges that he faces everyday, it makes him a natural
“warrior” and he brings this instinct in to Capoeira’s circle.
Brazilians call Capoeira a game. Capoeira is “played”, not fought.
The game of Capoeira requires the use of intuition and foresight
and does not rely solely on the use of physical strength. During the
game the capoeiristas skillfully expose the limitations of their opponents
and engage in playful attacks and counterattacks thus better enabling
themselves to discover their personal power

Capoeira does not focus on injuring the opponent. Rather, it emphasizes skill. Capoeiristas often prefer to show the movement without completing it though it could be finished to receiver, enforcing their superiority in the roda. If an opponent cannot dodge a slow attack, there is no reason to use a faster one. Each attack that comes in gives players a chance to practice an evasive technique.
Ginga
The ginga (literally: rocking back and forth; to swing) is the
fundamental movement in capoeira. Capoeira Angola and
Capoeira Regional have distinctive forms of ginga. Both are
accomplished by maintaining both feet approximately
shoulder-width apart and then moving one foot backwards and
then back to the base, describing a triangular step on the ground.
This movement is done to prepare the bod for other movements.
Attacks Capoeira primarily attacks with kicks, sweeps, takedowns, and head strikes. Some schools teach punches and hand strikes, but they are not as common. Lastly, striking with the hands is often seen as inelegant and disruptive to the flow of the game. Capoeira also uses acrobatic and athletic movements to maneuver around the opponent. Cartwheels called "aú" (a very common acrobatic movement), handstands (bananeira), headspins (pião de cabeça), hand-spins (pião de mão), handsprings (gato), sitting movements, turns, jumps, flips (mortal), and large dodges are all very common in capoeira though vary greatly depending on the form and rhythm.
Defenses
Capoeira defenses consists of evasive moves and rolls.
A series of ducks called esquivas, which literally means
"escape", are also staple of a capoeiristas' defensive
vocabulary. There are typically different esquivas for
every step of the Ginga, depending on the direction
of the kick and intention of the defender
capoe i ra MOVEMENTS
6 7
Capoeira history begins with the first black slaves brought from Africa to work on sugar
cane plantations and tobacco in Brazil.. Here, the mixture of different African cultures
formed the basis. Herethey learned capoeira tothe other slaves. Sunday – the rest day,
was the time when slaves had time to practice capoeira. On the plantation practice of
capoeira was changed. They added dance, music and rituals to hide the fact that slaves
were practicing a deadly martial art. Abolition of slavery took place in 1888.
Many blacks freed, were held on criminal gangs, and the luckiest of them, because of
the capoeira knowledge, were employed as body guards of politicians and businessmen.
Fearing the threat to political stability and social order it represented capoeira, the
government banned the practice, any practitioner of capoeira is shown expatriate.
Through the efforts of practitioners, the tradition was kept alive, and capoeira was more
readily accepted in the form of folk art.
In 1937, Mestre Bimba, one of the most important masters of capoeira, received the
invitation from the president to make a demostratie in the capital. The demonstration
was very appreciated and when to open the first school of capoeira in Brazil. This
was the first step in the evolution of modern capoeira. Afew years later was declared
a national sport in Brazil.
Today, capoeira has spread all over the world, earning increasingly more practical
through its beauty and uniqueness. In Brazil it is considered part of the culture, as
practiced in schools, universities, clubs and military academies.

Rhythm is the heartbeat of capoeira and song is the soul. Musiccan make a game play fast and hard, call capoeiristas to perform acrobatic feats or remind them of old traditions and history. Without music, capoeira is not complete. mu s
ic & INSTRUMENTS
berimbau Berimbau music is almost synonomis with capoeira. Said to "command the circle", the berimbau detirmines the kind of game (angola, regional, etc.) by playing the appropriate rhythm or toque. Visit our rhythms section to hear some berimbau samples.The berimbau looks like a bow tightly tied with a steel wire, or arame, which is extracted from the inside of car tires. Noise is created by striking the arame with a slight wooden stick called a baqueta. A woven rattle called a caxixi usually accompanies the hand holding the baqueta.
atabaque Atabaque is a large drum used in capoeira rodas. The skin is made from cow hide, and tight ened through a system of metal rings, rope and wooden wedges. To tighten an atabaque, hammer the wooden wedges downward, but always take the atabaque out of its stand first. pandeiro A pandeiro is a large version of a tamborine. Small and portable, pandeiros are a common addition to capoeira rodas everywhere. Capoeira pandiero skins are generally made from streched animal skin. Some older pandeiros are even made from the snake skin! In Brazil, pandeiros are also an integral part of samba music. There are various methods for playing the pandeiro, but in capoeira the principle rhythm is almost always the same

capoeiracapoeiracapoeiraA circle is made, called a roda. Music is played, and everyone sings and claps while
two players interact in the center. The leading instrument is a berimbau. Also played is
a drum called an atabaque and a pandeiro (tambourine). A berimbau is a one stringed,
bow shaped instrument with a gourd attached to one end to give resonance.
This circle is the most exciting part of Capoeira.
The game of Capoeira requires the use of intuition and foresight and does not rely sole-
ly on the use of physical strength. During the game the capoeiristas skillfully expose
the limitations of their opponents and engage in playful attacks and counterattacks thus
better enabling themselves to discover their personal power.
It’s subtle blending of gymnastics and dance moves make the capoeira game unique in
the world of martial arts. The challenge for the player is to harmoniously meld together
in a powerful flow the balance
The roda is the center of Capoeira. To get a picture of a roda, imagine a spirited fight in
a high school hallway or right in the middle of the street. Immediately, the crowd forms
a circle around the combatants, shoulder to shoulder, shouting energy into the middle
to keep the fight interesting. A Capoeira roda has that circle of people, that environ-
ment. At the head of the roda is the bateria, the row of instruments that govern the
players and direct the members of the circle. Each instrument in the bateria takes its
place in a strict hierarchy,th

Regarding styles, capoeira angola and capoeira regional are like soccer
teams – each of us has a personal preference and thinks the people
who root for the other team are totally wrong. This is normal and
healthy. Or, even better, angola and regional are like chess and
checkers: the board is the same (the roda) but the pieces, rules,
and objectives are different. You can’t have one player playing
checkers and the other chess. A chess player can play
checkers, but he must respect the rules of that game. So a
regionalista can enter an angola roda and play to the best of
his ability, but he must respect its rules, such as the toques and
the chamadas – and this also applies vise versa. As for
contemporary capoeira, it is NOT “neither” angola nor regional –
since if you take out the moves and toques from angola and the
moves and toques from regional, what have you got left?
Contemporary capoeira is a mixture of both; like a milkshake, it is
blended together and becomes a new thing.
The movements of capoeira regional can be divided into four categories:
1) Basics (aú, negativa, cocorinha, rolê, etc.) – the “esquiva” as in contemporary
capoeira was not a part of Bimba’s regional; according to Itapoan, the problem with
it is that it contains no counterattack. 2) Traumatic blows (kicks). 3) Unbalancing blows
(sweeps, trips, bandas). 4) Projection movements (throws) – these throws were NOT
grappling, they were designed to free one from an adversary who grabbed you

Beyond the profit motive, conserving or sustaining natural
resources is often given as
a reason why an
entrepreneur has chosen the recycling industry in which to start a business.
Chris Martin, the founder and president of
Seattle-based Clean Scapes, has entered the recycling industry because of a desire to
make urban neighborhoods more appealing places to live.
There is a sustainability aspect, says Martin, because living in cities can provide an alternative to
Creating a more pleasing urban landscape has prompted seattle’s clean scapes to become involved in collecting recycables and solid waste.
suburban sprawl. So Martin has been doing his part to make cities more attractive places to live by offering CleanScapes’ unique combination of services.
TAKING BACK THE ALLEYSCleanScapes, Martin says, "was founded in 1997 to enhance the residential and commercial sustainability of urban neighborhoods through innovative and efficient waste reduction and streetscape management services."
Specifically, Martin’s attention was focused on Seattle’s Pioneer Square Historic District, where, he says, overflowing and graffiti-covered collection bins "choked alleys and provided cover for illicit activity."CleanScapes offered what it calls its "Clear Alleys/Dumpster-Free
Program," designed to eliminate the bins and containers from the alleys while also "promoting increased waste diversion."
Many of the stakeholders in the near-downtown neighborhood appreciated the CleanScapes vision, says Martin. "The neighborhood was fairly supportive, and actually there was already a neighborhood plan from the 1980s that had asked property owners to develop alternative waste management programs to return alleys to their intended pedestrian and utilitarian purposes."
Seattle’s city government was supportive as well, says Martin, and "ultimately gave us a grant as a pilot project."
There isn’t anything revolutionary about what CleanScapes does, according to Martin. "What we do is collect things at the curb in color-coded bags: blue for
recycling, green for garbage and orange for compost," he says. "We do this in places where previously 15 to 20 [bins] were placed in each alley, often leaking and graffiti-covered, with inappropriate behavior taking place behind them. The phrase, ‘I wouldn’t want to meet that guy in a dark alley’ comes to mind."
The "before and after" difference in the alleys is noticeable, according to Martin. "Now, police have lines of sight down the alleys, fire engines can get in and out, and delivery truck drivers can make deliveries without stepping over who knows what on their way to the door."
For Martin, the goal was making the central city a better place to live and work. "One of the big goals, from a sustain-ability perspective, is we want people to live in urban settings; one of the reasons people don’t is because they are dirty and
perceived as unsafe."In founding CleanScapes as a way to
improve urban alleys and streets, Martin also became a contract hauler of solid waste and recyclables.
COLLECTION DUTIESThrough its Clear Alleys program, CleanScapes became familiar with collection, route scheduling and hauling, and the company has increased its activity in those sectors throughout this decade.
The company now has two sizable municipal collection contracts—one with the city of Shoreline, Wash., and the other serving portions of the city of Seattle.
In addition to collecting solid waste and compostable materials, the company collects what Martin calls commingled recyclables for processing at MRFs run by other companies.
