• Ranking System: In Capoeira, there isn't a standardized belt system like in some other martial arts. Instead, Capoeira uses a system of cords or belts that vary in color and are often referred to as "cordão" in Portuguese. These cords typically symbolize different levels of proficiency or experience within the art form.
• Color and Meaning: The colors of the cords in Capoeira can vary depending on the group or school, and they may not follow a universally standardized sequence. Traditionally, some groups may use green, blue, yellow, orange, and then progress to higher colors like purple, brown, and finally, black. However, this can differ between groups or mestres (masters).
• Length and Style: The cords used in Capoeira are often long and braided, measuring around 3 meters (approximately 9.8 feet). They are worn around the waist and tied in a specific manner, typically in a bow or knot, with the ends hanging down.
• Unisex Usage: These cords are usually designed to be unisex and can be worn by both men and women practicing Capoeira. They are an integral part of the Capoeira uniform and represent the practitioner's progress and dedication to the art form.
• Symbolism and Progression: Advancement through the different cord colors represents the practitioner's skill development, dedication, and mastery of Capoeira techniques and philosophy. Each cord color signifies a certain level of proficiency and understanding within the art form.
• Cultural Significance: The cords used in Capoeira carry cultural significance and are an essential aspect of Capoeira traditions and rituals. They are often awarded during ceremonies that mark a practitioner's progress or achievements within their group or school.

Details:

These Capoeira Cords are genuine from Brazil, hand braided and to be used by Capoeira Students depending the student level. The Capoeira Cords are Capoeira's version of belts as in other Martial Arts and are givin only once a year in Capoeira Luanda at a graduation ceremony called a Batizado or Troca de Corda. Traditionally the Batizado/Troca de Corda is the only time cords are given. The cord system in Capoeira is not standardized; every group has a different order of colors. Some follow the colors of the Brazilian flag – green, yellow, blue, and white – and others introduce other colors, such as red, orange, purple, and brown. Many have mixed-color belts that are in between the main color levels. Different groups also have different requirements for advancement to the next cord level.
