For the benefit of those whom isn't sure what is Batizado, it is a so call "grading" which is held every year for all Capoeira schools around the world, it's just a matter of when for each school. It is the time where new Capoeira learners officially becomes a Capoeirista and those with a corda (belt) gets promoted to the next level.
Okay, what makes Capoeira so special is that you can only take part in Batizado once a year which means you're going to be with your corda for 1 full year, unlike say Taekwando where you can take your grading 4 times a year! -.-
Of course, as you advance to a new level, the level and repertoire of skills must be better and one must learn how to sing and play the instruments. Without the instruments, there is no Capoeira.
Bantus Capoeira, Singapore
This is the 3rd Batizado in Singapore by Bantus Capoeira and what an event it was! My very first Batizado after a gruelling 1 year training. The whole workshop where we train at YMCA under the different instuctors from Brazil, Australia, Malaysia and Singapore lasted 3 well-worth-it days.
Enough words, let the pictures do the talking!!!!!!!

Over here, I would like to thank Graduado Claudinho for his training and this guy seems to know our school better than us so much that it's starting to get ridiculous and making us looking like some sua-gu in our own backyard! Special THANKS to Mestre Pintor, Graduado Rapfael, Instructor Grao, Professor Margo, Contra-Mestre Silvio, and all Capoeiristas for being part of this very very special event.
