Summary: Good DVD if you want to know about the history of capoeira
Comment: It's as important to know about the history of capoeira as it is to learn all the moves and songs. This DVD is a good start to learning what capoeira was, what it is and what it might become, all told by two of the martial art's most respected mestres, Mestre Acordeon and Mestre Nestor Capoeira.

Summary: Very deep
Comment: I knew a little about Capoeira since I had traveled Rio de Janeiro, and always wanted to learn more but did'nt have any resource. And then I found this DVD and quickly ordered. First of all, I ordered on Tuesday and received on Friday the same week! That was the fasted delivery I have ever received. Thank you very much Jedidiah.
It's not a high budget documentary film, but instead you can hear all the deep informative talks and discussion between 2 masters and students, with a lot of interludes showing breath-taking games. You will totally lose your breath once you see their movements!! What I liked the most was that students show so much respect towards masters. And I finally got to know what Capoeira really is. I'm waiting for the volume 2!

Summary: Good thoughts on the game
Comment: It was nice to hear the perspectives of these two well-known mestres. I only wish that there could have been more jogos.

Summary: Deepening and Broadening the Conversation
Comment: This DVD makes a wonderful addition to current resources on Capoeira, both for insiders (or practitioners) of the art and for outsiders interested in the academic and socio-cultural history of the traditions. Having assigned the two mestres' (Acordeon's and Nestor's) books in my college classes (both to graduate and undergraduate students alike) as well as to advanced high school students in a college preparatory program, I am excited to include this DVD as a supplement for students' learning! Axe ASCAB!

Summary: Gotta get this DVD
Comment: I love this DVD. Unlike many capoeira videos, Masters of Capoeira, explores some of the less discussed topics in capoeira like women in capoeira, contemporary Capoeira, the symbolism of the chamada. All this helps address the philosophical side of capoeira and deepen our understanding of this emerging martial art into mainstream culture. Plus, the DVD has cutaways to amazing montages of capoeira games with living legendary Mestres.
Whether you're breaking into the world of capoeira or are interested in going deeper into the philosophy and roots, this DVD is a great asset to a thriving capoeirista career.
