Capoeira is a martial art that was developed by the slaves brought to Brazil from Africa. They used it to free each other and fight for their freedom.
The people who invented it were from Africa, but the martial art was created in Brazil.

Capoeira wasnivented in the 1500s by African slaves brought to Brazil. They were not allowed to fight, so they invented capoeira, which is technically a dance, but it's also a game and a fight, so it was a perfect loophole. Modern Capoeira Regional ( pronounced hay-jo-now) was basically invented by Manuel dos Reis Machado. His capoeira name was Mestre Bimba. Capoeira Angola, which is much more like the oiginal form of capoeira was modified by Vincente Ferriera Pastinha, Mestre Pastinha. He helped make it a bit more popular. Both of them were alive from about 1890s- 1970s. I don't know quite as much about Pastinha as I do about Mestre Bimba, and I'm no expert on either, but I 'm in capoeira classes close to where I live and we have to learn about them for my classes.

Two answers: Originally, Capoeira was not started by any individual, it was a practice, which had been adapted from earlier ritualized martial arts, by a group of West-Central African slaves in Brazil, and was quickly morphed by various African, Indigenous, and Portuguese-Catholic influences. Capoeira as it is practiced now is largely descendent from two particular Mestres (Masters) of the art, who were given official sanction to teach in the '30s. Mestre Bimba (Manuel dos Reis Machado) created Capoeira Regional and Mestre Pastinha (Vicente Ferreira Pastinha) coined the term and created Capoeira Angola.
