Time training consistently is the most important consideration for each belt level. After the first belt, students need to be training consistently for at least 10 months to advance to the next level.

Ginga, kicks, escapes, and traditional sequences are the basis for your capoeira game and will have a strong influence throughout your capoeira journey. Everything else is bonus and adds flavor to your game. We expect you to complete at least 60% of the moves required for each level. At the same time, we understand that people’s capabilities and goals are different, so we will always work with you to help you develop in the way that is best for you. The movements listed are a guide for your development; they are not necessary to move forward, but we encourage you to challenge yourself. We know you will end up doing things you never thought were possible!

Doing the capoeira movements is important, but putting them together to play capoeira is the goal. This understanding of the game only comes with time. You can play capoeira with a few basic movements: ginga, basic kicks and escapes. To move forward, you must demonstrate progress in how you apply these simple tools in the game. At higher levels, you are expected to build more complexity into your capoeira.
