This past weekend was the Batizado for Axé Capoeira Kansas City.  A long weekend of 4 to 6 hour workshops followed by the capoeira ceremony, the event called Batizado (baptism).  If you deserve it, this is where a capoeirista can receive a promotion and a higher cordão.

I was surprised and excited to be up for promotion.  Here, I play with Professor Tigrão from Axé Capoeira Calgary for my azul (blue) cordão.  Just one rank shy of where I used to be before I moved away from Kansas City.
