nice moves, though, the video says luta, all I can see is teachers taking down students with their batizado/troca de corda, luta is when 2 people fight, not when one of them gets thrown to every "corner" in the roda...

also, the part where 2 teachers at the same time are just kicking the student (even for fun and not real kicks 1:16), it doesn't look that nice (to me,my humble opinion)

the positive thing I can say about this video is the axé (energy) which you can clearly feel

its all about fun. you have to get the students excited about this, otherwise why would they even bother coming to see your video. The purpose was for them to see themselves in the roda during their batizado, and get excited about it enough to want to see more. thanks for posting

Hey Gunga! I think Gloria posted a comment to this video under my username by accident. It really does look like it was a great event though. I didn't know you were so great at editing!? Very nice work... I want a copy of the DVD, how much is it?

[jamantastudios]

Ha Ha! You missed it though! I wish you could have been there! and ofcourse you can buy a DVD thanx for the support! I will email the details.

@milani213 In case you have never been to a Batizado, Everything you saw on the video is done playfully. The higher level capoeiristas do kick and take them down in a very playful manner. If you look closely every take down and kick is done with care for the student, knowing that he/she is a beginner and has lots to learn. None of this is meant to harm the Students. All higher level capoeiristas that you see in this video are well known and respected in the capoeira world.

This group is a shame for the capoeira that they represent.. And wtf is whit that kicking the beginer capoeirista. Yeah three on one the capo way!!!
