About Our Belt System
Team Capoeira Bamba utilizes a belt system to acknowledge the knowledge of the Capoeira student. The belt is known as “corda”, or cord, and is presented to the student during an event called the Batizado (baptism). This is an event that celebrates Brazilian culture through dances, music and a students progression through the belt system. Capoeira Bamba holds a batizado once every year.
