Customer comments on this selection.
 Good but not great
The good: This book is good for demonstrating fundamentals, and some advanced techniques. It provides generally good descriptions of the techniques with clear colour photos and how these techniques can be used and combined with other techniques.
The bad: Some of the pic sequences need an extra pic to illustrate exactly how they are getting into the position. If you knew nothing of martial arts and particularly capoeira you may not be able to tell exactly how they got into all the positions - but then, the book is recommended as a guide to be used with an instructor, not as a complete capoeira course.
Good book for beginers
This is a pretty good book if you are a beginner. I think anyone with an intermediate level wouldn't learn to much from it.
If you're getting started with capoeira, this is a great book that could help you develop your "jogo"
Although you have to remember that the true way to learn capoeira is practicing it.
 99 and a half won't do.
This is a great beginners book for those who are just starting out in Capoeira. this progresses with you as you go from beginer to advanced. I reccomend going to an actual class to fully understand and execute these movements and techniques. Also pick up the Capoeira conditioning book. It will definteley help you with the intermmediate and advance sections of the book.
helpful
This book is very helpful and one of a kind. I gave it five stars but i guess there is room for improvement. I think the pictures could look prettier or have arrows but then again maybe there is a functional value to it.
I would tell anyone to buy it if they are a beginner. It demonstrates moves and transitional moves. And when i get confused I use it as a reference. It is also provides some philosophy behind capoeira. I use it a lot when i am playing at home. It even gives combinations to try after breaking moves down. It is very reader friendly. also has a sturdy binding so you can throw it around and it stays intact. Overall, I was pleased with the purchase.
Great asset for any level capoeirista
This book is great for helping the beginner to advanced capoeira student. There is great help for learning individual moves plus challenging training exercises for interactive learning and fitness conditioning.
