The earliest written record describing something which is almost certainly Capoeira comes from 1806. It likely started much earlier, however, if we consider that the slave trade in Brazil started in 1550, and considering its practitioners did not leave a written record as they were not literate. First record explicitly describing "Capoeira" is from 1819 (I'm fairly certain, but not 100%).
