Why More Black Americans Should Try Capoeira
Season 5

Chinwe Oniah was first drawn to capoeira for its martial arts and self-defense elements. But the Afro-Brazilian art form quickly developed into something greater for her, and she discovered that capoeira is Black people’s cultural legacy, still thriving centuries after its birth. Oniah shares her journey and how the San Francisco-Bay Area became a West Coast hub for capoeira.
