Learning from a book takes most of the fun out of Capoeira anyway, you don't meet great people, you won't learn the instruments, the songs, the music, the acting, the shrewdness, the joy of learning Capoeira (although books are good for learning the history).

It'd be like the same difference between you on an exercise bike in front of the T.V and going for a cycle ride with some friends, both will probably get you fitter, but which is better for you?

If you are still determined to learn Capoeira though books I'll tell you some good books for learning moves. If you take my advice, tell me where you live in London and I'll tell you the location of some good clubs.

I'm in the West London, Ealing area.
