Capoeira: Roots of the Dance Fight Game

Capoeira: Roots of the Dance Fight Game

Capoeira: Roots of the Dance Fight Game. Nestor Capoeira.

In Capoeira: Roots of the Dance Fight Game Nestor Capoeira presents the second volume of his trilogy exploring the history philosophy and technique of this unique and multi faceted art. The author begins with the roots of the game describing the unique mental attitude of the Brazilian malandro someone who lives by a code apart from moral judgement and social conformity. This attitude is essential for the true appreciation of capoeira as a rich and wonderful game and for its deceptive fighting strategy in which total command of self and surroundings are required for survival. A history of capoeira’s development in Brazil traces it evolution from fighting and street play to a way of life embraced internationally. Finally a practice tutorial takes up where the author’s Little Capoeira Book left off. Instruction is given in intermediate and advanced fighting skills with in depth analysis of capoeira matches and nearly one hundred illustrations and photographs.
