Editorial Reviews

On this second video, Brazilian Capoeira Master Eduardo Ferreira focuses on detailed instruction of intermediate movements of Capoeira. He presents the history, music and more on the instruments of Capoeira. Additionally, Professor Eduardo presents more in-depth information on stretching, techniques and footwork.

Professor Eduardo’s branch of Capoeira, Raizes do Brazil, brings together the exciting and deadly moves of Capoeira and other martial arts. This branch incorporates boxing, the African martial art of Batuque and Brazilian jiujutsu. This video emphasizes detailed instruction on the moves of Capoeira and is a must for anyone interested in this martial art. 60 min.

3.0 out of 5 stars good, if you are a total BEGINNER in capoeira, August 2, 2005

This review is from: Capoeira 2 (DVD)

the strategy is less moves and stuff though a better explanation (slow, repeated). Good for the music explanation (few other videos do it). Good for VERY BASIC capoeiristas with no instructor, but a bit "poor" on the quantity of moves, kicks, takedowns. I was a bit disappointed just on that. If you are doing capoeira at an average level, it's not worth buying it. Instead if you are about to start off capoeira, I suggest you buy this dvd. The price anyway is too high for a "copy" style dvd (purple layer: are you serious?).

The instructor in this video is from Brazil and now lives in New York and teaches students in that area. He is very illustrative and clear about the techniques and terminology. Has really helped me improve my techniques and form in ways I never dreamed of.
