The African/Brazilian slaves were shackled and had tinkered with ways to fight and defend themselves in the "limiting" chains imposed upon them by their shrewd "masters". They disguised their fighting art through tribal music and made it seem as a dance, in reality it is and always will be a method of fighting. Capoeira was found out and was actually "outlawed" but later re-instituted after the ban was lifted. Now it is practiced by hundreds of thousands of people.
In fact many arts had to hide themselves in plain site, whether through enslavement or military occupation. It is sad to think about what all may have been lost due to the cruelty and hatred of one race against another.
