Reviews"Capoeirista, historian, sociologist, actor, author, teacher, and inquisitive traveler, Nestor Capoeira presents the reader with a unique and personal vision of capoeira. I hope all students of capoeira will have the opportunity to use his teaching for their own growth and understanding of this art." -Bira Almeida (Mestre Acordeon) "Capoeira has been in the States for twenty years, but there are few books-Nestor's is of interest not only to capoeiristas, but musicians, anthropologists, and lovers of capoeira. This book will help a new generation of capoeiristas on their path." -Mestre Jelon Vieira

Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisNo one knows exactly how Capoeira started or what its original purposes were. However, there are many theories. Unlike most books that present only one theory, this book gives the most popular theories and gives reasons why they may or may not be true. The Little Capoeira Book also discusses some of the most famous Capoeiristas and what effects they have had on the art. In addition, it goes on to describe how the two major branches: Angola and Regional, came about and what their differences are.
