CAPOEIRA NOTTINGHAM - CORDÃO DE OURO

Batizado

Every year we host a special weekend of workshops, with special guests from around the UK and Europe, teaching Capoeira and other afro-Brazilian artforms. It is called the "Batizado" (pronounced Batchy-zard-oh).

As part of the weekend, there is also a grading, where Capoeira Nottingham students can receive their belts.

This event is for all Capoeira Nottingham members, from children, to young people and adults.

Our 2019 event will take place from the 17th-19th of May. 

We have just announced the first two of our special guests...
Mestre Corisco and Professora Natalia! More announcements soon!

About Christos:
Christos was first exposed to Capoeira training through friends at Uni, then trained with Mestre Polaco in Reading and eventually joined Group Senzala in 2001 and was one of the founding members of Senzala Midlands under the guidance of Mestre Gato. 

He has since moved to Grantham where he started classes in 2013 and continues to spread the joy of Capoeira.

Christos is a great believer in the theory that Capoeira is a microcosm of our lives and he falls in that scenario himself, with influences from ancient Hellenic Philosophy, Engineering and cross-training in different Martial Arts in his Capoeira.

Hope to see you all there!
