We will be having our Batizado (belting ceremony) with Los Angeles's Mestre Batata on February 22 - 23, 2018!
Capoeira Batizados are a unique experience by which members of the capoeira community and outside schools are welcome to participate in the ranking of students. They are a celebratory event that includes workshops, a belting ceremony and rodas (where you play capoeira). Parents and Friends are invited to attend! To acquire your belt you must play a high ranking member of the capoeira community.
Everyone will be invited to attend workshops, receive a Batizado 2019 T-shirt and a hand-made Capoeira Besouro Belt!

BELTS
*Belts are determined by number of skills known, age and ability to participate productively in class. As the level rises the student is expected to be able to support peers of lower belt levels. In the Roda, a mature player responds to his or her partner with compassion, respect and axé (energy).
