Capoeira is from Brazil and is normally done outside.
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.
Capoeira was outlawed in 1890 and then it was formally endorsed by the State in 1937
