From the club's website

Official Axé Capoeira Website | Join our community today! Axé Capoeira began in Recife in 1982. Over the last 4 decades the group has risen to be one of the world’s leading Capoeira organizations, with the legendary Mestre Barrão at its helm. Backed by the worldwide release of ten albums of music on Spotify, Apple, and Bandcamp, and the five-volume instructional DVD compilation, enrolment continues to steadily increase with over 10,000 members around the world in over 30+ countries. What is Capoeira? Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art developed in the 1500s by African and Indigenous slaves in Brazil as a form of self-defence from their oppressors. It is marked by its agile and tricky movements that may be executed anywhere from an upside-down position, to a gravity defying kick. It has a strong acrobatic component in some styles and is always played with music. The word Capoeira is an indiginous word meaning ‘tall grass’. If slaves managed to escape, they would often use this grass to hide in and ambush their masters.

What it teaches and who for are our best reading of the facts. The club has not confirmed them yet.
