‘Swing‘

Rather than a singular movement, Ginga is more of an idea without which, Capoeira game cannot really happen. It is a collection of movements and expressions that with time, become a signature of Capoeirista. Ginga is the essence of Capoeira that allows to incorporate the very princiles of the art such as dance, trickery, attack and defense. A skilled Capoeirista is able to outmanoeuvre another player purely with Ginga - I’ve done this and it was done to me… it’s true! Ginga is something that every Capoeirista should always focus on improving.
