Chamadas are internal routines of the traditional Capoeira Angola game, a form of the Brazilian martial art Capoeira . There are several variants. The process of a chamada follows fixed rules:

Call

One of the players initiates the Chamada by raising one hand and at the same time placing the other arm in front of the body in such a way that it remains covered. Usually more experienced players will call the less experienced. The call movement imitates the slave master (holding a cane for punishment).

Approximation

The called player approaches slowly and with great caution. Here he makes a lot of defensive movements to protect himself. This can be meant as a tribute to a great master or as a mockery of the other player.

Passo-a-Dois

After approaching, the players take three steps forward and three backward together. Depending on the variant, the players can stand next to one another, behind one another or in front of one another. Sometimes one player is also higher than the other - there are many variations.

output

The player who initiated the Chamada dissolves it again. He slowly leads the other person's hands to the floor and usually has a "surprise" ready for him in the form of a sudden, unexpected kick.

A chamada is performed when a long game of rest is necessary, a stagnant or confused situation arises or the mind has to cool down after heated actions.
