It’s finally here! Bantus Japan’s first batizado, and we want everyone to come and join us for this very special celebration. The batizado, the most important event of the capoeira year marks the day when a capoeira player is officially welcomed into the group. If you’re not sure what the batizado is, please watch some of our videos on Youtube.

The festival leading up to the batizado is going to be full of capoeira workshops, street rodas, and lots of fun. Don’t miss this chance to learn from Mestre Pintor himself.
