Summary: Essential Capoeira
Comment: I have studied martial arts all of my life. The instructions on the DVD are thorough and helpful for beginners who are interested in this art. Capoeira is an excellent martial arts that I use for strength, flexibility, cardio, and keeping great shape. In addition to being fun and compelling, this DVD also presents techniques, that once mastered, can be extremely lethal moves. This video is worth the cost; it also has great extras that make it interesting to watch. Enjoy!

Summary: Second best to actually being in class
Comment: It's hard to learn Capoeira from DVD, and there is no good substitution to a teacher watching you and giving you personal feedback. Moreover, it's hard to take notice of the details when watching this DVD, things like where the leg lands, how the hand moves etc. If you take a class, you'd probably learn most of the movements within weeks anyway - and with the details according to your school (I've noticed there are slight variations). But I did learn few things, so maybe you would too.

Summary: Awesome - truely amazing!
Comment: Paulinho Sabia really did a great job on demonstrating step-by-step instructions! A really inspirational dvd and complete with short clips of regional style rodas in Brasil. There is the option of having a voice-over lady translate the portugues into english, but i would recommend just learning basic portugues and you will understand what Mestre is trying to say!
I love this dvd and give major props for it!

Summary: Great DVD if you want to get some insight into performing capoeira moves
Comment: If at all possible find a good teacher of capoeira to learn from, be it a mestre, contra-mestre, professor, imstructor, etc. But if you can't make it to class regularly, then DVD is great to learn some basic and a few intermediate level moves in regional capoeira. The instruction comes in multiple languages (English was not the default language on my DVD so I had to change it). Also, you need an older or cheaper DVD player to play the DVD if you are in the US. I tried to play my DVD on my newer DVD player (3 yrs old) and it would not play at all, but I tried it on a DVD player that was about [...] and played just fine. Otherwise, this DVD was great and the bonus feature of the capoiera games was phenominal. You will see somethings you may not ever be able to do, but is really cool to look at.
