nice.......2007-06-15

I've submitted more detailed reviews for each of the DVDs.

LOVE IT.......2006-07-31

I MLOVE IT IT HELPED ME FIGURE OUT WHAT I WAS DOING WRONG WITH SOMEOF MY MOVES

I agree.......2006-06-02

I am a capoeira instructor and been around it for almost 6 years now, I've seen any dvd about capoeira this is surely one of the best around if not THE best. Try also the ones done by Capoeira Brazil (Mestre Paulão), they're quite good.

A great box set on this unique martial art.......2005-07-29

First off any potential buyer should realized the dvds in this set are in a PAL format which is more common in western Europe and parts of north Africa. The U.S. uses dvd players that are NTSC formatted. I learned this information after purchasing the Capoeira 3 dvd box set. When I finally played it I was suprised (and a little annoyed) to realize that none of the three dvd disc would play on my panasonic dvd player which is only 3 years old. However, the dvds would play on the dvd on my macintosh computer. I did buy a more recent phillip dvd player for about $40 and it does play the dvds in PAL format. (Colors are not that great though and tends to make the screen flash like old computer screens.) Most new dvd players have this feature of playing both PAL and NTSC. Older models may not so check you dvd player's guide or look on the internet to see. If not you can spend $30 to $40 on a new dvd player.

With that said of the format I will focus on the content of the material of the dvds. This Capoeira dvd set consist of three dvd titles; `100% Regional,' `Rodas De Capoeira,' and `Basic Techniques of Capoeira.' Each of these titles are also sold separately and I have done a more in depth review on each of these titles on their own page on amazon.com. So search each of these dvd titles on amazon for those reviews. The DVD's are made by a French producer Christophe Diez (reason for the PAL format). The footage takes place between Brazil and France. I will say that each of the dvds are the best I have seen on capoeira. I also own other titles such as Advanced Capoeira with master Sergipe, Brazilian Style Fighting Capoeira 1, 2, and 3. These titles do not come close to the dvds sold in this package as footage and entertainment of watching goes. The producer of these titles has also produced two other capoeira dvd's that are not in the box set that are just as good, `Capoeira 100% Spectaular' and `100% Capoeira.' I also have a review on these two as well. Each of the dvds that Christophe Diez has produced has great camera angles and editing. The camera is not left on a tripod like other dvds on capoeira. The camera follows the action and held without tilting or bouncing. Because of the great editing and camera work I give this box set of capoeira a five star even if the format is PAL. If you are into capoeira and have been doing it for a few years and like the history, music and movement that this art offers you will enjoy this box set. I will also recommend the other two titles as will.

Here are all the titles I know of by this producer
100% Regional
Rodas De Capoeira
Basic Techniques of Capoeira
Capoeira 100% Spectaular
100% Capoeira

Awesome set ! .......2004-09-18

This three volume set is awesome. The whole set brings together all of Caooeira for me. It has lots of demonstrations that show fully this exotic art. It breaks down each move in detail so that it can be easily leaned. This is what I was really looking for and it is much cheaper to buy the set than individually purchase them. A great deal!!

I expected more from an advanced level capoeira DVD.......2005-08-02

Ok I practice capoeira since 4 years now, but indeed I was disappointed to spend this amount of money for a dvd like this. It's worth it just if you're a beginner. Not advanced.
PROS: - list of capoeira toques in music section (But where are pandeiro??Atabaque??)
- good stretching advice
- good tips and explanation, though keeps it simple
- some good ideas to excercise

CONS:
- too few excercices for an advanced video
- poor roda section
- its a dvd copy (purple layer), the price is high
- just a few combos

my verdict: A WELL, SLOWLY EXPLAINED MOVIE FOR BEGINNERS/INTERMEDIATE. Not advanced at all

The Best .......2004-10-03

I own Capoeira and Capoeira 2 and they where awesome. Capoeira 3 is no exception and has the best capoeira combination techniques I have seen. Prof. Eduardo Ferreira and his group are the real deal. I have learned a tremendous amount from this DVD and highly recommend it just as your other customers have recommended the other two DVD's in the series.

Total Rip-Off.......2007-06-14

I was dumb enough to buy the VHS copies of these years ago for megabucks. I have hundreds of workout videos. These shouldn't even be categorized as "workout" videos. There is no cuing, no instruction, no routines, nothing. Just the lady swaying around and smiling in her living room, and the occasional clips of real capoeira artists. I can't believe these are still on the market and still being hawked as "workout videos" !

PLease save your money!.......2007-01-11

I am sorry to say these were the worst video's ever made. There is no instruction...just a woman in her livingroom it seems moving while flashing to a group of men performing self-defense. I was truly disappointed . I cannot stress enough not to buy these.

Good Workout.......2006-07-19

I found these DVDs different and fun to workout to. I found new muscles that I didn't know I had.

The worst video ever.......2005-08-03

Boring !
Poor sound - horrific sound !
The Capoeirista seems to get tired and running out of breath after first 5 min.
No explanations !
No flow !
The REAL capoeira clips are teasingly annoying !
No substance, no goal, no pace, NOTHING !

It took Amazon 2 months to deliver ! And it was shipped from So Cal to So Cal, no more than 50 miles away...

The worst video (instructional or entertainment or anything) ever !

Too bad there's no option less than one star for the rating !!!
