Batizado

My first Batizado for my Capoeira group is this Sunday. This is our first Batizado in over 3 years, so it is a big deal, even though it will be a small internal Batizado.

What is a Batizado? I believe it means baptismal and is a big event in the sport/martial art/dance of Capoeira. Students will be given their capoeira nicknames and tested and given belts. In a large Batizado outside groups are invited to play Capoeira. The students of the group are tested by outside mestres that play with each of the students.

(Disclaimer: i'm a white, american, non-brazillian speaking beginner. ;)

I just found out that my Mestre hasn't had a batizado in the US for the 7 years that he has be teaching here. So this batizado is very important.
