What is the difference between regional and Angolan Caporiera?

Question

I am trying to find out information on the differences between the two genres of this Afro-brazilian martial art/dance/cultural form.

Answer 1

Capoeira Angola is the traditional style of Bahian Capoeira. It is usually, although not always characterized by playful, ritualized games, which combine elements of dancing, combat, and music, while stressing interaction between the two players and the musicians and observers.

"...What differentiates Capoeira Angola from Capoeira Regional is, mainly, the philosophy used in both schools. The angola master cares to convey to his disciple the cults pertaining to the Capoeira Angola...endowing him with a great level of harmful subtlety...in which the capoeirista only attacks when the opportunity comes...the master of Capoeira Regional prepares his disciple to attack, making him more aggressive".

So, there are many little slight variations in the matter of the realm of Caporiera, but not so much as something really huge of a difference.

Thanks for your time.

Answer 2

Not a whole lot from what I understand. Just small variations here and there.
