Summary: Theres better Capoeira DVD's...
Review: If a your capoeirista with a few years under your belt... I suggest your go find other Capoeira DVDs, for instance Grupo Axe Capoeira DVD is a lot better. The DVD is ok for beginners... but I'm happy that Capoeira has upgraded from VHS to DVD. Axe!

Summary: Phat DVD
Review: OK, I can respect low budget film making, but this is a waste of money. First, the sound is so horrible, and the accents so thick, that you cannot understand a single word they are saying. Second, there is no explanation of anything they are doing (the name has been changed--when I bought it last month, it said "Capoeira for Beginners"--which sounds like it is instructional). Third, the picture/filming quality is annoying. There are no transitions, the picture just "skips" to the next move. The camera jumps around and makes illogical pans and close-ups. Fourth, this DVD is so short that even the content is not worth the money. So, no-budget recording + no content= a horrible viewing experience.

Summary: Great for Beginners
Review: This dvd is a great introduction to training in Capoeira. Presented as a Capoeira home movie, this tape allows you to take part in a Capoeira class and observe training without being distracted by a narrator's own particular feelings. There are some shaky camera movements and angels, but overall this video can help you start your journey into the world of Capoeira. Axé!

Summary: Absolutely Horrid
Review: This is NOT a good DVD for beginners..or anyone else. Like others have said,it's just a taped Capoeira class,with no explanation of how to do any of the techniques. I would be willing to buy a DVD of justa Capoeira demonstration if it was advertised that way,and if the camerawork was professional. Some of the Capoeristas on the program are very good,but it's not worth the money. I got this and the advanced Capoeria dvd for FREE with another order I placed, and I STILL feel ripped off! Avoid at all cost..unless that cost is free.

Summary: THE BEST!!!!!
Review: Very exciting actions throughout the entire movie. This DVD shows very unique & deceptive capoeira techniques; shows you how to string a berimbau also. The music is very spiritual and energetic. Excellent rodas plus maculele and samba. A must watch, the best out there! Congratulations to Raizes do Brasil Capoeira by this very well done piece, representing our art!!

Summary: The Capoeira Class
Review: Well I couldn't get warm with this DVD.. it actualy is more or less a taped capoeira class. While this isn't a bad thing it's just not enough... Positive things about this DVD:
+ good feeling of how a Capoeira class looks like
+ some cool movements
+ some good games
+ good capoeira music Negative things
- bad camerawork, shacky pictures wich often don't show the full action
- fast movements look blurry so you can't always figure out what the guys are doing.
- almost no comments to what is going on, on the picture.
- most of the fighting techniques seemed to be from boxing and jui jitsu So this DVD shows a realistical view of Capoeira and leave you with quiet a good feeling, but it's defenitaly lacking on the technical side (Camera, camerawork) and Content (as it just doesn't explain anything...)
