5.0 out of 5 stars Intro to the Roda
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2016
Verified Purchase
Chris Roel invites you into the roda right from the beginning of his book! Through his goal setting sheets, interactions throughout the links for the language and demonstration he teaches and introduces you to the capoeirista, teacher, and person who loves Capoeira. It personalizes Capoeira to your own personal journey and introduces others to hopefully train one day. It is refreshing to read a book that focuses on the present and personal journey of a person through the beautiful offerings available through Capoeira. Training with Chris is amazing and I expect nothing different from reading the rest of his book. Axé, meu amigo!

This is definitely a book to read if you are looking to start capoeira and it's also a great reminder as to why you do capoeira if you feel you have lost your way. Capoeira is such a great art and Chris pointed out some of the most important aspects of Capoeira. I couldn't put the book down once I started reading. I definitely can't wait for the next book.

A fascinating story of life transformation through the Brazilian martial art of Capoeira. The author shares his journey that began with the goal of better health, and evolved into a life-long involvement with the Brazilian music, culture, language and cuisine. A thoroughly enjoyable narrative and a book worth reading.

Please do not waste your money on this book. It has no content whatsoever. It reads like a "Why I like Capoeira" essay that someone wrote in 10th grade.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 13, 2016
Verified Purchase
It's more of a textbook of one capoeirista's life changing journey, (I was expecting more than that], so if you're looking for more detailed and more interesting, factual, and overall accomplished source of information on this vastly facinating martial art, which capoeira certainly is, do a bit more search, there are other publications out there. However, good enough for a total beginner.
