Little Capoeira Book - Capoeira Nestor
Nestor Capoeira, a long-time teacher of capoeira and noted mestre (master), begins this revised edition of his bestseller with an in-depth history of the Brazilian art, giving the most popular theories for the origins and purposes of this movement that combines the grace of dance with lethal self-defense techniques in a unique game-song structure. In addition, he describes how the two major branches of capoeira (Angola and Regional) came about and the differences between them.The Little Capoeira Book's clear descriptions of the game, or jogo, explain the actual application of capoeira, vaguely similar to sparring but very different in purpose and style. He discusses some of the most famous capoeristas and their influence on the art.
The music of capoeira, which is played during all jogo, is also examined, along with its main instrument, the berimbau.
