Batizado is a ranking ceremony and belt exam.  We test twice per year.  Students are tested on their requirements, are able to train in workshops with visiting Mestres, and are able to learn more about Capoeira.  Your participation will help you learn and progress in the Capoeira world.  These events are not to be missed!
