Being a Capoeirista

The book reveals the trajectory of a capoeirista who intensely lives the capoeira in southern Brazil. His experience as Contra Mestre and teacher is marked by his involvement in teaching capoeira in rural communities and on the outskirts of the city. By exposing his thinking about capoeira the author presents an expanded concept of capoeira, a view that does not restricts it to a particular style or imprisons it in a likely source.
