Capoeira: what do i need to be able to do for first batisado?

Question

I started taking capoeira classes a month or so ago and last week signed up for a batisado this october, and while im sure it depends on the school/mestre/etc i was wondering if someone could give me a list of the general techniques one might need to graduate

Answer 1

normally there isn't something like a fixed program but then again rules differ from group to group.

but having 4 months at capoeira is usually too short to get a grading.  it might be that they grant you your corda crua (grey cord) but that's not really considered a graduation.  Just enjoy yourself your first batisado is an unforgettable experience.

Just a little edit there's really nothing you need to do or know about a batisado.  Just attend try to play in the roda and enjoy yourself...
