Yes, Capoeira is a martial art developed in South America. It is fighting that was disgueised as dance when martial arts were outlawed to slaves. The original style has the practitioners fight with knives tied to their feet.

Yes, but it doesn't look like fighting to me and I don't understand it.
But I understand Wesley Snipes is a 5th degree in it.

Yeah I've seen it and from what I've seen I'm not impressed (in terms of being useful). It looks good as a dance though.
