Reddit reviews The Little Capoeira Book

I don't think you understand much about Capoeira. Try giving this a read.

Thanks! I'll take your word for it. As far as books on Capoeira go I've only read a few so I don't have many to compare it to. One of those was Nestor Capoeira's The Little Capoeira Book which also has a nice bit on maliçia. On that topic, I also once heard him comparing everything you do in the roda can be analogous to something in life. You wouldn't trust a complete stranger not to deceive you in certain situations and you should do the same in the roda. It's something I've always remembered.

My issue with the book would be with the person who wrote it. I could not trust an author, who claimed to be something he wasn't, to write a book about the capoeira journey. It's ironically an example of real life malicia. It's snakeoil.
