roda

a roda (pr-nounced hah-da) is translated from portuguese as “circle.” a “roda” is commonly used in the afro-brasilian martial art capoeira, and it is basically the circle where two capoeiristas (capoeira partic-p-nts) play against each other.

roda’s are typically made by group of capoeiristas and they clap along to the music playing. there are numerous occasions for roda’s to be made-for fun, for more formal events such as baptizados, and for capoeirstas from different groups to experience capoeira as a whole.
new capoeiristas should try to step into a roda, even if it might be scary at first; the experience gained from it is great!
roda stands for red open dog -n-s. most mammals can have -n-logously described excretory openings, such as rocas (for cats), romas (for monkeys), and even ropas (for persons)
