REGIONAL
This game is fast. Capoeiristas move quickly, using the same types of kicks,
takedowns, and flourishes as in a Benguels game, but much faster, more objective
and more dynamic. This is also the game in which players may explore the
"fight" of Capoeira. A players reflexes must be on point, in order to react
quickly enough to the fast and powerful kicks. Beginners typically do not
play the benguela rhythm.
IÚNA
Following the tradition of capoeira Regional the game of Iúna
is extremely technical. Only the most graduated students of the
group are permitted to
play this game in the presence of their mestre. It is a game in which the
Capoeirista demonstrates acrobatic skill, balance, strength, and agility.
It is accompanied only by the orchestra and applause follows each game.
