Belt System 

Requirements: 

If you would like to get your next cord, please show up consistently! Train on your own if possible, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me!

Raw Cord (1st cord): Train with us for a few months! This is the starting cord for your capoeira journey!

Green Cord (2nd cord): Must know how to do these capoeira movements:

Bênção,  Meia lua de frente, Armada, Queixada, and Ginga. 

You must be able to dodge movements and participate in a roda. 

Green Yellow (3rd cord): Know how to do the Green Cord movements as well as: 

Au, queda de rins, Rasteira, S-Dobrado, and complete a basic takedown.

-Must be able to complete a 2 part partner sequence (will be discussed in class).

Yellow (4th cord): Know how to do the green yellow movements, along with one of the following moves: 

Macaco, Pião de Mão, Aú sem mão, headstand, or any variations of these movements. 

Must be able to one of these movements in a sequence.

From the 5th cord onwards, you'll have to learn more advanced Capoeira sequences. I will discuss this with you once you've reached that point in your Capoeira journey!
