Batizado

This past weekend was Kathryns Capoeira groups annual Batizado, so she was busy with workshops and general badassery. On the Sunday it was their big belt changing ceremony and showing off to the great unwashed, so I took my dutiful place in the front row and got some pictures. For those of you that have never been to a batizado its basically 3 hours of the picture below, which is exhausting to watch much less do yourself.
Kathryn also got her double orange belt this year which is her 5th belt and puts here close to the top of her group in experience. She's been very dedicated not only to her practice this past year but also to learning instruments, Portugese and as much Brazillian culture as she can get, so I was very proud to see her hard efforts recognized. Below are the students from her academy that changed belts this year along with the instructors and guests from out of town.
She's in the middle of the picture above, but for those of you that like your Kathryns more than 10 pixels across, here's a closer picture of her. She's gotten very good over the years and I am always proud to see my Little Scrapper strut her stuff.
