From what I have heard, Martial Arts were banned in European Colonies in The Americas... Thats why they called Capoeira a dance, so that they would not be killed or put in jail. So in public, Capoeira was a dance, secretly, it was practiced as a Martial Art.
This is what I've heard, but I could be wrong...
