Capoeira, 'Roots of the Dance-Fight-Game'
I have been studing capoeira for a while now, and as soon as i started i searched the internet for anything helpfull in my training and understanding.

That is when i found the large selection on Amazon of capoeira stuff, but this book inperticular, and part one of this double book set as well, titled;'The Little Capoeira Book', both are a must have for beginners in capoeira, and even people that have been studing for longer.

This book,(Capoeira,roots of the dance-fight-game)is fantasticaly full of usefull information for a capoeirist to have and know. It touchs on explanations of capoeira,and the different parts in capoeira(The game,the making of a mestre e.t.c) the instruments, and there significance. The History of capoeira, and old or former mestres(Masters). Also more advanced techniques for a truely dedicated capoeira student, even teachers(mestres/masters).

All in all this book is a must have guide to help any true capoeirist to learn, understand, and become better in there knowledge and understanding of movements.
