Nestor Capoeira was the main character in one of the first Capoeira films (Cordão de Ouro). He wrote three books (O Pequeno manual do jogador/Little Capoeira Book, Os fundamentos da malicia/The roots of the dance-fight-game and Galo já Cantou) and a novel (A balada do noivo-da-vida e veneno da madrugada) of which the Little Capoeira Book is published in several languages. He also made a cd (Capoeira, os fundamentos da malicia/Capoeira roots of the dance-fight-game). He was a pioneer to teach Capoeira abroad and came to Europe in 1971 to teach Capoeira at the London School of Contemporary Dance.
