Capoeira Oregon - Body of Brazil — Local services in Beaverton

Do you know about Capoeira? To me, it's the most interesting of the martial arts because it is both badass and really elegant and fun to watch. It includes Brazilian music and all members are part of the activity even if they are not the 2 individuals "sparring" at the moment.
