Cordão de Ouro

Cordão de Ouro is a Brazilian martial art that combines capoeira, a dance-based fight from Angola and Brazil, with Brazilian jiu-jitsu, a ground-based grappling art. Founded in 1977, it emphasizes fluid movement, self-defense, and cultural expression through music, dance, and martial techniques. Practitioners develop agility, coordination, and confidence while preserving traditional Afro-Brazilian cultural elements. Suitable for all ages and skill levels, Cordão de Ouro promotes physical fitness, discipline, and community, making it a comprehensive system rooted in Brazilian heritage and martial arts philosophy.
