US OPEN CAPOEIRA TOURNAMENT 2009

The registration process is simple. The Capoeira player will send the following information:

• Name
• Physical Address
• Email Address
• Capoeira school/group
• Shirt size
• Male/Female
• Category/Division

Since there is so much variety among Capoeira schools in terms of graduation and initiating a comparative process can be a huge and difficult task. The definition of beginner, intermediate, and advanced established by the US OPEN CAPOEIRA Tournament is by time of practice in Capoeira.

• Beginner - any Capoeira player with up to 2 1/2 years of practice
• Intermediate - any Capoeira player with up 2 1/2 to 5 years of practice
• Advanced - any Capoeira player with up to 5 years of practice
• Special Division - capoeira instructors and professors
