As part of Omulu Capoeira Group Oakland's belt system, students demonstrate their knowledge of Capoeira. Our belt is called "corda or cordão". Batizados (initiation/welcoming) and Trocas de Cordas (changing of the cordão) are two ceremonies where this corda is presented. In Capoeira, each corda represents progressions; with each advancing corda an individual is honored for their growth and commitment within the art form. Like other martial arts, students are ranked according to their knowledge, training time, and are awarded belts (cordas) to recognizetheir achievements.
