Capoeira on the street

A Capoeira group displaying their talents at the Notting Hill Carnival. This is a form of martial art originating in Brazil. It is a fighting art, but also dance-like and accompanied by music. It looks freeform and impromptu, but as the aim is to spar without ever hitting your opponent, it must take quite some level of skill to get as quick and as entangled as these guys did!
