A Street-Smart Song: Capoeira Philosophy and Inner Life

If you've read any book from Nestor Capoeira you know what to expect from him. As always this book discusses some really interesting insights about capoeira, great book.I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to get deeper into the capoeira way of seeing life.

An eclectic and enjoyable book for anyone who wants to think more deeply about capoeira in spirituality, meaning, history...

Another super weird book by Nestor Capoeira. The guy definitely marches to his own drum.

Amazing author and practicioner

Having done martial arts for most of my adult life and read numerous titles on the subject, I can safely say that A Street-Smart Song is the best book on the arts that I have ever read. With an intimate understanding of his subject, Nestor Capoeira presents and explains Capoeira and its environs in a colorful, honest, and plainspoken manner. Along with his previous U.S. releases: The Little Capoeira Book and Capoeira: Root of the Fight - Dance - Game, A Street-Smart Song is a worthwhile read for any freethinking martial artist.

This book is right up my street on the Capoeira Philosophy/spiritual way of life.

Nestor was able to collect relevant information, interpret and present in a scientific manner the essence of Capoeira. This was only possible for his life long dedication to this art /style of life, as well as, for his skills and privileged intelligence.I truly recommend this book to all serious capoeiristas and to those interested in separate the myth from the reality of our Capoeira.

My son has got into Capoeira and I have bought this for Christmas for him. Can't wait to see his face when he opens it!
