Although this is more exercise and dance, this is supposed to be a dangerous and effective martial art, created by African slaves in Brazil, and disguised as a dance as it was banned (possibly like martial arts preserved through Indian and Thai dance).

It's beautiful to watch and so elegant the way the artists move...

The fighting movement (as opposed to dancing) is side to side, as well as diagonal and backwars, unlike most martial arts, but much like Shastar Vidya.... it's very decieving as even the movements away from the opponent are only illusionery as they are simply evading and turning away and then back into to attack..
