Wonderful!!.......2007-02-08

Awesome dvd!! You can really learn alot from this dvd, I did. I highly recommend this dvd as well as #2 & #3. Check out the savings when you buy all three as a set!!

good, if you are a total BEGINNER in capoeira.......2005-08-02

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?).

Very Good!.......2004-07-20

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.

Description

Brazils native self defense of Capoeria is one of the most unique fightingarts in the world.

Developed fby the slaves of Brazil who hid there African art practised it as a dance but once you see these guys going at it you will see why this is the newest art to hit Hollywood and take it by a storm. There are movies now in progress that will show you these skills but Master Sergipe who comes from a city named Curritiba is one of the most respected names in Brazil and his students are some of the best.

Master Sergipe will show you some of the most simplist techniques and then he takes you to the advanced techniques that Capoeria is famous for.

He shows you pad work combinations and this 2 DVD set is most certainly the place to start if you are new to the art.

Do NOT waste your money on this!!!.......2004-12-12

(1 star because they won't let me vote negative 5!)This 2 DVD set is WAY overpriced for what it is. I got both of them for free when I ordered the entire series from Panther (A much better series,though this art pretty much requires 1-on-1 instruction). I'm glad I got them for free, because I would have felt extrememly gipped otherwise.
They name some thechinques, but no explanation is given on how to do them. The camera work looks like it was shot on a handheld 8mm. All in all, they're just taped Capoeria classes with no instruction. I will admit, when you CAN see through the grainy picture,some of the Capoeristas are very good,but not good enough to warrant the proce of this poorly shot and produced jump-on-the-bandwagon peice of garbage.
