Awesome Book

This book breaks capoeira down into the 4 or 5 most common/basic movements and provides multiple workout plans for conditioning for capoeiristas. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to build their conditioning thresholds.

This is a great book

This is a great book if you like Capoeira as much as I do and want to improve on it. It has helped me improve on knowing more about how to gain strength, balance, and agility for Capoeira movements.

I definitely love learning from this book.

I definitely love learning from this book. The writing style is engrossing, despite being essentially being a technical manual.

Solid Movements

Solid movements, I'm always looking for ways to add new movements to my practice and this book was solid. Still not a replacement for an actual teacher but it still gives you moves that you can take the time to learn and master then figure out how to bind them together into a nice flow. It's the puzzle of movement that is beautiful. Certainly give it a read.

Capoeira

As the subtitle says, "builds strength, agility and cardiovascular fitness using capoeira movements". This book was not written to teach you capoeira. It was designed to teach people how to get fit by using capoeira exercises. To me it can be used like yoga if you want to or like an aerobics. Good book.

Very clear

The book is very clear, the exercises are very well explained, with plenty of photos. Mr. Taylor also outlines several possible exercise routines constructed from the basic movements. The author makes the point that his book concentrates on the conditioning aspects of capoeira movements; it is NOT a primer on the art itself. If you are "into" bodyweight conditioning, this book will provide some useful and challenging alternatives.
