This study aimed to analyze the formation of a typical capoeira from Goiânia, based on the development of the history of this fight since the 19th century, relating the formation of this body culture to the transformations in work world, as Antunes (2006) calls it. So that we could verify how the formation of the elements that constitute the so-called contemporary capoeira in the Goiânia city took place, we sought to demonstrate some characteristics of slave/street capoeira and capoeira in the "age of the academies", as it was called by Capoeira (2015b). We highlight some elements of the main traditional capoeira schools: Angola and Regional, as well as their main masters, Bimba and Pastinha. Our aim was to understand the social determinations that culminated in the formation of different types of capoeiras until a model developed in contemporary times was reached. We analyzed the formation of capoeira relating it to work from the ontological point of view, based on the studies of Marx (2017a; 2017b), Engels (2004), Lúkács (2012; 2013) and Antunes (2006; 2018) to identify work as a vital human activity and which, under the aegis of capital, assumes increasingly social characteristics in the metabolism between human beings and nature. Our research covers different periods of Brazilian social formation, from the slaveholding structure of production to the predominance of salaried work. Thus, the objectives of our study were: a) to understand the relationship between capoeira and work; b) analyze the construction of capoeira from historical and social determinations; and c) identify in the contemporary capoeira phenomenon its different forms of existence. Our research had as data collect technique ten semi-structured interviews and among our interviewees, capoeira teachers, boatswain and masters. The data show that some interviewees are able to identify what a contemporary capoeira would be, including listing its characteristics, others still defend that it is an evolution of capoeira Angola and Regional. They also point out that contemporary capoeira loses some important foundations of traditional capoeira, but does not completely escape aspects of ancestry. This capoeira, according to the research subjects, brings new foundations arising from other practices such as fights and gymnastics, in addition to the incorporation of acrobatic movements. We infer that there is a contemporary capoeira in Goiânia city and that, even though it is not a third capoeira school, it is a new form of capoeira today, especially because it is transformed, in the capitalist production mode, also into a commodity to be sold. Furthermore, even if they do not consider themselves as such, those who work with capoeira are a special commodity: when they sell their labor power, in exchange for subsistence wages, they make up an army of exploited workers.
