The Little Capoeira Book |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: nice book.
Comments: I'll be perfectly honest. With my short attention span I have at times, I havn't done much in the way of practicing through the use of this book. however what I have practiced using it, I was able to figure out easily thanks to the diagrams and explanations in it. This book was also able to make me hold the interest I 1st had in Capoeria before finding it with the additional sections that talk about the styles history and the philosiphies behind the art.
If you want a book on Capoeria that will hold your attention for a great long time, than you will deffiantley want this one!! Just do not assume that you will be able to catch on to the style immediatley though, this book also proves that Capoeria isn't something you can pick up right away. ;D |

Summary: Discusses and teaches the Game on many levels
Comments: I found this book to be an entertaining and informative read which discusses the game of capoeira on many levels from the philosophy through to movements and drills. It's a well rounded book and I reccomend that you give it a read if you are interested in capoeira (and even in philosophy). |

Summary: Love it
Comments: I grant I am starting out however this book has amazing insight on the philosophy and moves. Reminding that creativity is as important as learning the moves that have come from those before us. He also gives exersies that can be done when a person can not get to the roda of his instructor/mestre. After this book I am gonna have to read more books about capoeira as well as from Nestor cause he was able to explain more than I thought could be put in a book. |

Summary: Newbie and I got it!!!!
Comments: This book has been out for quite a while now and even now, in 2006 the book is still helpful. I am new to the Capoeira lifestyle and reading this book has been helpful in gaining more knowledge about the history as well as the many different movements involved with this awesome martial art.
I definitely endorse this book to newbies and more seasoned capoeristas. I may be a little "slow" however while the illustrations are great, I got a little confused when trying to "flow" through the movements however by reading, you will figure it out and they'll begin to feel right.
Hope this helps...enjoy!! |
