Mestre Piolho started the CDO group in Chester in 2010 based on the foundations of Respect, Community, Passion and to Achieve. The group has continued to flourish and now offers regular toddler, kids, teens and adult classes. Classes are offered for all levels with Mestre Piolho structuring sessions to cater for students of all ages allowing each student to progress at their own rate. The group hosts an annual Capoeira event inviting students and instructors from around the world for a weekend of workshops learning and celebrating Capoeira and Brazilian culture.
