The sport originating in Brazil has found large amounts of success in Africa. This sport combines two very different genres in a unique mashup not seen in any other sport. The two styles? Dancing and Martial arts. In the sport, there are no winners, instead it is seen as a cleaning of the body and “is all about channelling energy and aggression through physical challenge” according to our-africa.org.
