Summary: Fantastic book, written with an open-minded view on Capoeira
Review: Again a very good book by the hands of the famous Nestor Capoeira. This book shows many aspects of our beautiful art and shows various views on certain subjects by people who really know this art (Jair Moura, Mestre Itapoan and more). The book is written with an open mind like I know Mestre Nestor. His open-minded view shows in all the conversations and lectures I had with him. This book is really a must for the dedicated Capoeirista.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You Can't Go Wrong!
Review: This is a very informative book. It gives you a lot of knowledge on the history of capoeira. It's like a more advanced version of "Ring of Liberation". It lacks all of the different moves that were shown in "The Little Capoeira Book", but it does provide you with great variations. This is a definite must have for all who are interested in Capoeira. So far, this is the best book out in English.

Summary: A good fundemantel
Review: This is another good *basic* book from Nestor Capoeira. It includes basic theories, history and some basic capoeira movements. Seems like this book is second part of "The little Capoeira book"

If you have just started to learn Capoeira, or if you are wondering what it is, this book would be very helpful for you.

On the other hand, if you are already a baptized capoeirista you can not find anything that you dont know, in this book.

Summary: should be required reading for the serious capoeirista!
Review: Wow - amazing book! This book explores capoeira in a very detailed historical, sociological and philosophical context. It presents sensible historical evidence for the evolution of capoeira and not just mythical hearsay. This book might be a little boring to someone with just a passing interest in capoeira, but it will be hard for a capoeira lover to put it down. Thanks, Nestor - Axé!
