Thus, the research seeks to understand the importance of capoeira for each subject involved, whether from educational training, physical, psychological health and social issues. Thus, the theme was chosen: The Role of Capoeira in the Education of People: The Case of the Associação de Capoeira Axé Bahia De Mutuípe. Thus, three guiding questions were chosen: How does capoeira help in understanding concepts for everyday life? How does capoeira qualify the attitude of the people involved with it?
