There is a wide variety of ways in which people can keep fit and improve their flexibility.
They can choose from a range of sporting activities, aerobics and pilates classes, martial arts or different forms of dance.
Capoeira is relatively new in Hong Kong and combines aspects of all these activities with the infectious rhythms of Brazilian music. It is quickly building a large following around the city.
'We call it a game because of the other elements involved - the dance-like movements used to try and trick your opponent, the acrobatics to make the game more beautiful, and the music to drive it all along.
'It was developed by enslaved people - mostly Africans and native Brazilian Indians,' Chumbinho explains. 'They secretly practised their fighting skills by disguising them as dance-like movements, taken from a variety of traditional African ritual dances and fighting styles. Combining them, they created a way of fighting their oppressors that went virtually unnoticed.'
