ABADÁ Capoeira Marin's first batizado will include both the youth and adult students of Graduada Ciranda.

The batizado (Portuguese for baptism) is a traditional capoeira ceremony in which new students are initiated into the world of capoeira. New students receive a capoeira nickname and play with a senior and high-ranking capoeiristas, symbolically welcoming them into the ABADÁ capoeira community. New and continuing students receive a cord that represents their level.
