About
Annually Grupo Bantus Capoeira Malaysia organizes a festival – Ritmo do Brasil. The festival usually spans across a week and comprises of various workshops in Capoeira, Brazilian Dance and Music. This is also the time students are awarded their Cordas (belts) during the ceremony known as Batizado – Troca de Corda.
Batizado
Batizado is an initiation ceremony, welcoming new members to the group by presenting their first cordão (belt), and also a time when the older students are awarded their next cardao. In Capoeira, students are graded according to their level of discipline, skill, knowledge and musicality. However also a student’s overall participation in the group is looked at and awarded accordingly, so it’s not just about the skill of Capoeira but also the commitment to the group.
There are two grading systems, one for below 15 years old and one for adults (16 years and above).
