Questions students ask

Are the courses really free?

Yes. Every student gets the Machado Method student courses free, and you don't need a card. Sign up and we'll email your login.

Do I have to train at a Machado Method academy?

No. If your academy isn't on the list, choose My academy isn't listed and type its name. Want to train at one? Find an academy near you.

Can I watch on my phone?

Yes. The members' area works in a browser, so your phone is fine.

How do I get my next belt?

An instructor the association has approved invites you to a rank evaluation. Evaluations happen at the Summit, and you leave with Ready or Not Ready. The dates aren't set yet. The belt guide shows how the ranks run.

Can I train with Master Carlos in person?

Yes, at the Summit. It's three days on the mat with him, and your academy doesn't have to be part of the association. Dates are on the events page.
