Reseña del editor

Capoeira dates back to the 18th century, probably created by slaves in Brazil during their battle for freedom. Since then, Capoeira has developed and is enjoying a surge in popularity, featuring in video games, films and music videos.This book goes back to basics and looks at what Capoeira is, the differences between the different styles, and then demonstrates and explains the basic movements that any Capoeirista will need to know. All of the moves are broken down into clear step-by-step photographs and instructions, demonstrated by a master of Capoeira.

Biografía del autor

Ponciano Almeida's Capoeira name is Mestre Poncianinho ('Little Ponciano', as his father, also a mestre of Capoeira, has the same name). He was raised in a small town in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. He started Capoeira at the age of four, and was taught by his father and uncle, both mestres of Capoeira. Since the age of 15, Ponciano has been teaching full time in Brazil and throughout Europe. He has been based in London since 2000, and became a master of Capoeira in 2004. He has appeared in music videos, magazines, newspapers, commercials and a recent trailer for BBC One. He also appeared in the film Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire.
