Adriana Lima – Full-time model, part-time Capoeira martial arts practitioner

Adriana Lima is best known for being an internationally acclaimed supermodel and is seen as one of the most glamourous women on earth. However, did you also know that she is also a martial artist who trains Capoeira? The Brazilian Beauty has been spotted training the art on several occasions now over the years. She has featured in magazine articles and also partook in a promotional ceremony for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic games which used the art.

For those that don’t know, Capoeira is from Lima’s native Brazil which dates back to hundreds of years ago. The art uses a mixture of dance moves as well as kicks for self defense purposes. It makes sense that Lima would choose this as her preferred martial art as it’s from her country, as well as a great way to keep fit whilst improving your flexibility and athleticism at the same time. With this in mind, she’s not just a pretty face and you may want to think twice about her fighting skills in the future.
