TO ASAKO AFRIKAN COMBAT CAPOEIRA
The oldest known combat arts and sciences in the world were invented over 5000 years ago by Kmtyw ‘Afrikan=Black people’ in Kmt ‘Land of Black People’. Abibifahodie Asako ‘Afrikan Liberation Capoeira’ is one such Afrikan=Black combat art and science for self-defense, protection, and holistic wellness. Later known as N’golo and Kipura, enslaved Afrikans=Black people brought it from Angola to the regions of Brazil. In Asako, participants form a circle and take turns either playing musical instruments (such as the Ɔbɛnta ‘Berimbau’), singing, or sparring. Asako (Capoeira) is marked by evasion techniques, weapons, kicks, feints, sweeps, headbutts, grappling, chokes, and breaks. A key objective in Asako is to attack without being attacked. Asako (Capoeira) builds flexibility, physical and mental stamina, tones muscles, and improves balance, focus, and coordination. Asako develops mind, body, and spirit. Asako classes consist of stretching, movement training, light sparring, and music.
