@@diegopinto5199 what's the differences bro?

@@legendgunner1249 Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art and a cultural expression of African origin that combines dance, music and fighting techniques. Developed by descendants of African slaves in Brazil, especially Angolans, whose combat rituals served as its basis, this practice possibly began in the 16th century. Capoeira is characterised by agile and acrobatic movements, including kicks, blows and headbutts, and is accompanied by traditional instruments and chants, which helped to disguise its practice during periods of prohibition.

@@legendgunner1249 Brazilian jiu-jitsu has its origins in Japanese judo and jiu-jitsu, first developed by Jigoro Kano. At the turn of the 20th century, Mitsuyo Maeda, a direct pupil of Kano, introduced these techniques to Brazil and the UK. In addition, other figures such as Geo Omori and Soishiro Satake played important roles in spreading these techniques to different regions. Inspired by Maeda's teachings, the Gracie clan refined and adapted the techniques to create Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, focussing particularly on the effectiveness of ground fighting. They adapted the techniques to their own circumstances and physical attributes, thus contributing to the development of a distinctive style. They were also the global disseminators of BJJ by competing in and creating mixed martial arts tournaments and the UFC. In addition, masters such as Luiz França and Oswaldo Fadda have made notable contributions to the evolution and spread of Jiu-Jitsu in Brazil. The unique vision and teachings of França and Fadda diversified the style, promoting its expansion both inside and outside the country. Therefore, Capoeira and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are two distinct types of martial arts.
