For the first time on DVD--a lesson in capoeira given by a great master of the art! After an explanation of all the basic techniques, demonstrated by his pupils, Mestre Iram Custodio goes on to explain the more complex movements (including the many feints and kicking techniques), again with demonstrations. Features chapters about the different musical rhythms used to accompany capoeira, and the various musical instruments used to play the accompaniment, as well as a very interesting interview with Mestre Iram Custodio about the development of the art from its origins to the present day. Bonus thirty-minute selection of capoeira sequences filmed on the beaches of Rio. Portuguese with French and English subtitles.
