The emergence of the modern styles of capoeira should be considered in the global context of the modernization of martial arts currently in progress in Europe and Asia on the one hand, and the new phase of Afro-descendant modernity on the other. The confrontation between the capoeira, jiu-jitsu and other martial arts circles led mestre Bimba to develop his regional Bahian fighting style. The revival of traditional capoeira as Angolan capoeira led by mestre Pastinha is part of the broader movement of affirmation of Afro-Bahian culture in Salvador and the growing visibility of the Afro-descendant body in the Atlantic world.
一方面，卡波耶拉现代风格的出现应置于欧洲和亚洲目前正在进行的武术现代化的全球背景中来考量；另一方面，则应置于非洲裔现代性的新阶段中来考量。卡波耶拉、柔术和其他武术流派之间的对抗促使宾巴大师发展出他的巴伊亚地方格斗风格。由帕斯蒂尼亚大师引领的传统卡波耶拉作为安哥拉卡波耶拉的复兴，是萨尔瓦多非洲裔巴伊亚文化更广泛的肯定运动以及非洲裔身体在大西洋世界日益显著的一部分。
