Cordão de Ouro Batizado grading system
The Cordão de Ouro grading system was developed by Mestre Suassuna, and is colour coded.
Our Batizado (Baptism) which takes place twice a year, is an event with a ceremony and workshop where students receive their next grade.
The day itself is not a test, the belt and level you get is determined by your training frequency and skills you've developed over the year, not just playing capoeira, but other aspects of capoeira too, such as music, theory and history.
Beginners are especially welcome to take part in the batizado, to get the first green belt.
