About this title: In this best-selling capoeira title, now branded as a Blue Snake Book, Nestor Capoeira starts off 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-defence techniques in a unique game-song structure.

"After training for years, I finally got around to reading the Little Capoeira book, having read Accordeon's book and Ring of Liberation several years ago.
