These three masters came from Group Senzala under Mestre Camisa, however they left the group in 1988 and on the birthdate of Capoeira Brazil were recognised as "Masters" by a number of older well respected grand masters of Capoeira. <br /> Over the past 20 years the group has grown to be one of the top five Capoeira groups in the world. There is now a Capoeira Brazil Group on every Continant and over 50 countries throughout the world.<br /> </p><p> The graduation system of the group is based on a light to dark colour system with raw (Crua) being the first cord and black (Formado) being the highest graduation cord. Black as the highest level was not chosen becuase of the signifigance of the black belt being the highest level in eastern martial-arts but rather as a dedication of respect to the Africans and native Brazilians that were enslaved and suffered the result of which brought to life the Capoeira art that rewarded them liberation. <br /> The Monitor cord of half Blue and half red is a respect to Group Senzala whos master cord is red in colour.<br /> </p><p> Adults Graduation System: <center> <img src="Raw.jpg" hspace="20" vspace="10"> <img src="YellowRaw.jpg" hspace="20" vspace="10"> <img src="Yellow.jpg" hspace="20" vspace="10"> <img src="OrangeRaw.jpg" hspace="20" vspace="10"> <img src="Orange.jpg" hspace="20" vspace="10"> <br /> <img src="BlueRed.jpg" hspace="20" vspace="10"> <img src="Blue.jpg" hspace="20" vspace="10"> <img src="Green.jpg" hspace="20" vspace="10"> <br /> <img src="Purple.jpg" hspace="20" vspace="10"> <img src="Brown.jpg" hspace="20" vspace="10"> <img src="Black.jpg" hspace="20" vspace="10"> </center> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <center> <font size="2" color="7711aa"> info@capoeira.hk = 9197 4429 = 3484 2936 = www.capoeira.hk <br /> Unit D 1/F Shek On Building 104 Cheung Sha Wan Road Sham Shu Po </center> </font> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <center> <font size="2" color="7711aa"> </center> </font> </td> </tr> </table> </center> </body> </html>
