Floreios are the cherry on top of Capoeira. They include various movements, among which, acrobatics. These types of floreios have helped make Capoeira so popular since they make it look spectacular. However, floreios originally consisted of movements that were used to distract, confuse or trick the other. By pretending to show an opening or by using an evasive movement, which was open or unpredictable, they aimed at trapping the adversary.
