Description
Capoeira: Roots of the Dance-Fight-Game covers a broad range of topics - philosophy, history, training - related to the increasingly popular martial arts style. The author discusses capoeira's evolution from Brazilian street play into a way of life. The philosophy of capoeira, and the practical and spiritual benefits of that philosophy, are also discussed. Instructions and exercises in intermediate and advanced skills take up where the author's previous book left off. The book includes 100 black-and-white photos and illustrations. PART 1.
