Welcome to CapoeiraWiki!
CapoeiraWiki was created to be the ultimate knowledge hub for everything related to capoeira. Whether you're looking for detailed information on its history, movements, or music, this wiki aims to cover it all. Capoeira is a rich and diverse martial art, blending elements of game, acrobatics, and music, with deep roots in the Afro-Brazilian culture.
The concept of a wiki is central to this project: a collaborative environment where anyone can contribute, edit, and refine the information. As we grow, we encourage you to share your expertise, stories, and insights to help us create the most comprehensive capoeira resource available online.
Key categories
CapoeiraWiki is organized into several key categories to help you find the information you need:
- History – Explore the rich history of capoeira, including biographies of famous mestres, the evolution of schools and groups, and significant events that shaped the art.
- Movements and Techniques – Learn about the various kicks, strikes, defensive moves, acrobatics, and sequences that make up the physical aspect of capoeira.
- Music – Discover the instruments, rhythms, and songs that are integral to capoeira. This category includes subcategories for corridors, ladainhas, quadras, and music albums.
- Organizations – groups and schools.
- Culture – Delve into the rituals, traditions, and cultural aspects that define capoeira's unique identity.
- Styles – Understand the different styles of capoeira, including Regional, Angola, and Contemporânea.
- Media – Find information on movies, books, and other media that depict or discuss capoeira.
Road map
CapoeiraWiki is in its early stages, and we have an exciting road map planned to guide its development:
September 1, 2024 – First launch
- Our wiki goes live, laying the foundation for a global capoeira knowledge base.
First phase – Initial content upload
- A limited number of trusted authors will begin uploading and organizing the initial content, setting the stage for the community to build upon.
Second phase – Invite-only access
- To ensure quality and avoid spam or bot interference, user registration and editing will be by invitation only. This phase will help us establish a strong foundation of reliable content.
Third phase – Open stage
- CapoeiraWiki will transition to an open platform, where anyone can edit or add pages without an invite. Our goal is to foster a vibrant, collaborative community of capoeiristas and enthusiasts from around the world.
We invite you to join us on this journey as we create the most comprehensive and reliable capoeira resource available online. Axé!
