Ringue ou academia? A emergência dos estilos modernos da capoeira e seu contexto global / Capoeira circle or sports academy? The emergence of modern styles of capoeira and their global context

A emergência dos estilos modernos de capoeira deve ser considerada no contexto global da modernização de artes marciais em curso na Europa e na Ásia, por um lado, e, por outro, da nova fase da modernidade negra. O confronto, no ringue, da capoeira com o jiu-jítsu e outras lutas levou mestre Bimba a desenvolver sua luta regional baiana. A revitalização da capoeira tradicional como capoeira de Angola, liderada por mestre Pastinha, insere-se no movimento mais amplo de afirmação da cultura afro-baiana em Salvador e da crescente visibilidade do corpo negro no mundo atlântico.

The emergence of the modern styles of capoeira should be considered in the global context of the modernization of martial arts currently in progress in Europe and Asia on the one hand, and the new phase of Afro-descendant modernity on the other. The confrontation between the capoeira, jiu-jitsu and other martial arts circles led mestre Bimba to develop his regional Bahian fighting style. The revival of traditional capoeira as Angolan capoeira led by mestre Pastinha is part of the broader movement of affirmation of Afro-Bahian culture in Salvador and the growing visibility of the Afro-descendant body in the Atlantic world.
