A Study of Capoeira


This section will deal with the study of capoeira (not capoiera), because I feel it is a style rich in culture, heritage, and rhythm, and besides it can be so much fun.

What is capoeria you say? Well, if you are unfamiliar with the art there are some things you should do before checking out the sites:



Links


The Chimp's Capoeira SiteTHE BEST!! learn not only alot of capoeira moves, but this guy has about every kick every kicked listed with pictures. Has a help section on learning moves, invaluable. GO HERE FIRST!!
Capoeira Corner-- good site for capoeira. It shows many of the basic moves, but also some sweet style moves.
Tekken 3 Eddy Gordo -- This site belongs to Capoeira Mandinga. If you want to visit the main page, go through Capoeira Corner. This link is just to the Eddy Gordo part. It explains that Eddy's movements are actually taken off the mestre of the creators of the web site!! Take a look at Eddy's moves if you can't pick them out during the game.
Capoeira of San Josewebsite. Good place to go to learn about the history and the like, but their crowning jewel is the movements section. Check out the incredible animation.
Roda Capoeira--good site, the glossary of capoeira terms is usually the only thing I go there for.
Capoeira in Action!!--Just pictures here, but they're good ones and higher quality than I've seen at other sites.
