About the Book

Ptah, a superb and highly confident martial artist, has been the welterweight champion of the "World's Free Style Martial Arts Association" for the past five years. His prowess in the ring is near legendary, and he is popularly known as "Ptah the Dogon". Ptah's strong and confident position is challenged one day when he meets "Zambi the Tiger" in the ring. This encounter leaves Ptah shattered and confused, as he is superbly defeated by the brilliance of Zambi's martial arts abilities and the ancient power and beauty of Capoeira. This rude awakening sets into motion a serious search for a deeper meaning in his life and a greater understanding of a true martial arts master. In his first novel, Khafra Om-Ra-Seti flows with the spirit of ancient African wisdom and martial arts mastership. This book brings together many of his beliefs and visions regarding the search for a true meaning in life. The saga of the Dogon family, and the ancient beauty and spirit of Capoeira, moves the reader into the realms of mysticism, power and deceit, love and hate, freedom and redemption, and the burning passion to reach the highest level of self-mastery in one's lifetime. This is the story that Khafra has wanted to tell for a long time! REVIEWS: "Science fiction and mysticism fused in a timeless spiritual embrace. Heroes and villains, conspiracies and revelations, are what best describe this compelling and all around off-the-hook novel....Capoeira is replete with symbolism, inner visions, and spiritual attainment. Like the Martial Arts that permeates It's pages, this book is fast paced and snags you immediately." ---E. Uzzle "This novel is simply a product for the "big screen," because the settings, and the energy are absolute vehicles. The energy in "Capoeira" is profound, and it captures the black family as a strong institution. This is significant, because family structures prevail againist the odds for the betterment of society. ---Denise Turney CAPOEIRA takes us on a journey through time, where past and present collide in a page turning series of events. It is 2010 and the World Free Style Martial Arts Association has gained a huge fan base and following and has brought martial arts to a whole new level of popularity. The main character in the story, Ptah, is the champion of the welterweight division and part of the Dogon Clan. The Dogon s are part of a long family line of people with special spiritual powers and abilities. Soon readers learn that the Dogon Clan is not without enemies, and that Ptah s journey to remain a champion will delve deeper than his bouts in the ring. Indeed they become part of his deeper journey into mysticism and to further his spiritual development. Ptah, along with the other members of the Dogon Clan, are involved in the universal fight against good and evil, but they have to fight these battles in both the physical and supernatural realms. CAPOEIRA is a book that has a little of everything. Drama, suspense, and fantasy are all wrapped up in this interesting story. For fans of martial arts, this book is a must read, as the author takes us to a time when martial arts is a sport that can gather arena size crowds like football or boxing can today. The author carefully weaves in a lot of information about various types of martial arts and incorporates it into the story so well that readers who are not already fans will learn a lot, but still enjoy an otherwise fast paced story. The elements of fantasy and spirituality add additional depth to the story while the drama and suspense will keep you turning pages. My only complaint was that at times the author seemed a bit repetitive. This is a must read for martial arts fans and a book many others will truly enjoy. --Stacey Seay
