The competition will happen at our academy in Sarasota located in the corner of Bee Ridge Rd and Tuttle. The address is 2817 Bee Ridge Rd.
Sarasota, FL, 34239.

It will happen on September 13th at 3:00PM sharp. Make sure you arrive at least on hour before that to match up the categories of skills, age and size. We are not going to be responsible for people arrive after 3:00 PM and the entry fee is not refundable.

We are charging $15.00 entry fee to enter the competition.

The purpose of the competition is to give your child a challenge and motivation to train even harder and get better. We want to make sure that we keep the competition really fun and pleasant to everybody.

The competition will be divided into five categories. Your kid can enter one or all the categories:
1. Floreios. It is the individual competition where the child will show his/her skills by themselves in the roda for 1 minute. The judges will judge the degree of difficulty of the movements, how well they were performed, if they were performed according to the rhythm of the music.
2. Duplas. The child will choose a friend to perform with them and will show a 1 minute and 30 seconds of "jogo" (game) of Capoeira. The game should be cooperative and the judge will grade by how well they interact with each other, the difficulty of the movements and how well they were performed.
3. Instruments. The child should choose a instrument to use for one minute. They can choose from any of the Capoeira instruments we have: berimbau, pandeiro, agogo, reco-reco or atabaque. The judges will look skill and rhythm and if they can do variations with the instrument chosen
4. Capoeira Game. In this category, the child will be match up with another student with relative age, size and skills. The match up can not be questioned by the parents or the child will be automatically disqualified. In this part of the competition, the students are allowed to make light contact and takedowns. If the child hits another in the head, he/she will receive a warning than the second time will be a disqualification even if it was an accident both times. The judges are looking for control, skill and finesse rather than brute force. If the child gets hit in the head and bleeds, the kid who kicked will be disqualified, no warning required.

No matter what competition the judges will be always looking for:
*Style
*Ginga
*Straight kicks
*Height of the kicks
*Knowledge

Remember that the more categories they enter, the more chance they will have to get a prize.

Please, fill out the form with the information about your child.
