Malicia (Malice) is a concept in Capoeira that is both simple and complex. Its Latin root, mal, meaning 'bad,' or 'ill,' would imply a concept of evilness. However, contextually speaking, malicia translates best as 'trickery/deceit.' Malicia, at its heart in Capoeira, is the art of deceiving your opponent and tricking them into a compromising position.

Malicia has several philosophical areas. One of which lies in the idea that the roda is a microcosm of life. As such, malicia becomes important, as it allows a capoeirista to see into a person and understand how a person thinks and approaches life. As malicia would allow the capoeirista to see an attack as a fake to set up a takedown, also malicia would allow the capoeirista to see a person's real motive behind a facade (Nestor Capoeira, Capoeira: Roots of the Dance-Fight-Game).

Another philosophical area of malicia concerns mandinga, or magic. Malicia, at its heart, is the deep understanding of the human condition, and the other person. To truly embrace malicia is to attain a level of insight reserved for shamans and other magic practitioners. It is to have an understanding of the basic forces of the universe and be able to harness them, as referenced in Nestor Capoeira's books The Little Capoeira Book and Capoeira: Roots of the Dance-Fight-Game.
