In capoeira, the goal is not to defeat your partner, but to grow through the game. The same principle can apply to how we handle conflict in everyday life.

This chapter explores a simple but uncomfortable question: When you argue, what are you really trying to achieve?

Through the lens of capoeira, we look at ego, communication, and the difference between winning a point and making progress.

Sometimes, the most powerful move is not to push harder — but to step back and see the game differently.
