The Afro-Brazilian art form capoeira-a martial art with elements of dance, acrobatics, and music-is a huge, complex phenomenon. Any capoeira student looking to delve into capoeira's rich culture needs a signpost here and there-something to color in the edges of his or her knowledge, to bring all the little distinct pieces together. From samba and maculelê to Brazilian history and malícia, the Guidebook offers helpful thoughts and analysis for capoeira players looking to learn more about capoeira's full depth. Capoeira is a complicated, diffuse art form with many contradictory elements. With careful research, The Capoeira Guidebook gives insight into the strange process by which Afro-Brazilian culture and capoeira affect and mold each other. By looking at Brazil's history, Afro-Brazilian traditions, and capoeira's ecosystem, we can gain a better understanding of the peculiar nature of the dance-fight in the roda.The Capoeira Guidebook is a perceptive and innovative look at the world of capoeira. With a little bit of everything-history, culture, philosophy, practice, and evolution-it's an invaluable resource for any capoeira player.

A Street-Smart Song delves into the boundless philosophical depths of capoeira, the fascinating synthesis of Brazilian dance and self-defense. Drawing from a wide range of sources—the streets of Salvador and Rio de Janeiro, the teachings of the old masters Pastinha, Bimba, and Leopoldina, and the brutal economic realities inflicted on the poorest of Brazil—Nestor Capoeira paints an indelible portrait of this living art, its spiritual heritage, and its vital place in a world hypnotized by media and crushed by poverty. The traditional poems and songs of capoeira are here, along with the author’s lively discussions of everything from the space age and television’s impact on third world culture to Candomble and capoeira’s life-changing lessons. Rounding out this absorbing cultural survey are historical photos, sketches of weapons and instruments, and fully illustrated fighting movements, taught step by step.

This book is about Capoeira Angola, an Afro Brazilian martial art form. This book is not intended, on its own, to teach Capoeira Angola. It is a reference for understanding how some of the basic movements of Capoeira are done when you are not able to attend classes. This book was created with children and beginners in mind. It can be a resource for kids who need help remembering the names of the different Capoeira movements. It can also be used as a study guide to help students of all ages remember the various movements and think about their potential uses. Learning Capoeira is like learning how to swim. You can read books about how to swim, but you must get in the water if you really want to understand how it's done. Reading this book will help guide you, but you must go to a class to truly learn Capoeira Angola (or any type of Capoeira). I hope this book will help you develop an understanding of how Capoeira works.
