BEGINNERS

Students that have trained regularly and hope to continue their training are welcomed into the club, and play with a Capoeira Master to win their first grade/cord (in Capoeira we have cords rather than belts).

GRADUATIONS

Other students that have progressed further are also given recognition with a new cord, and win this by playing slightly more challenging games based on their experience level.  Manchester Liverpool Capoeira CDO has at least one Batizado and one Spring Meeting annually.  Students can be graded at both, and the Spring Meeting has grown to be almost as big as our Batizados.

WORKSHOPS WITH TEACHERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Famous Capoeira Masters always attend this major Capoeira event to give the students an opportunity to learn different things, according to each Master's unique training methods.  This will mean a chance to meet & train with many Capoeira Masters on a Friday night, as well as Saturday and Sunday. 

These events are also a great opportunity to see some amazing games between the masters or students from other clubs, as well parties that are second to none, usually on the Saturday night.
