Congratulations to everyone! Yeah! We are officially capoeiristas!

Of course the big surprise was when three students “trocar de cordao” after getting their first cordaos - Tempeiro, Risadinha and Tocastor. Thank you! Mestre and Claudinho!

  • I’m so happy, feeling like a kid with a candy! Well I think watching others getting baptized was also as fun, especially the little ones. They were amazing! Ironically, I had to help Canibal so he wouldn’t end up with his pants down like me. Thank you to all who had made this Batizado festival a very axe one!

  • muito obrigada to Prof Gringo who floored me.
