English: Diário Nacional, from 1927, shows a drawing of a sailor tripping a policeman, while there was already another figure on the ground in the background.
The article “The capoeira game should be part of our physical education; unjustifiable prejudice that exists against it” is signed by J.C Alves de Lima, a Brazilian diplomat in the United States. The article makes the suggestion that capoeira be adopted as a sport and fight, supported by eugenistic arguments. The article, dated November 6, 1927, ends as follows: "why not adopt it in our schools during recreation hours? Other peoples of greater physical value can punch themselves at will. Not us. Let’s popularize the game of capoeira, innate of the Brazilian people. That is why no other people will dispute it with us."
