Still feeling the axé from last week’s Batizado e Troca de Corda!
This was the first event of its kind here in Kingston, and it filled our community with the rhythm, movement, and energy of capoeira.

A huge shout-out to all our students, families, and friends who came out all weekend — participating in the workshops, sharing their energy at the showcase, and helping in so many ways. We’re so grateful for your support and spirit!

Thank you to all our incredible guests who led the workshops, rodas, and music. This event wouldn’t have been possible without you.
A special thanks to our grand master, Mestre Barrao , for supporting this event and trusting our teacher and leader, Graduado Baiano, to continue representing Axé Capoeira in Ontario.

We’re deeply grateful to all of our visiting teachers for their guidance, inspiration, and dedication: Mestre Testa Kevin Brett , Mestrando Osso Duro, Professora Onça Axé Capoeira Comox Valley, Professor Faísca, and Instrutora Formiguinha.

Finally, a heartfelt thank-you to all our supporters and sponsors who helped make this event possible: Paradise Construction, Ballytobin Foundation, RMGE Contracting Inc. , Big Sky Dog Centre, Koketsu Kai, Tiger's Den Martial Arts, Rampant Kitchen , , Juniper Cafe, and ABAFA.

Her name means small ant 🐜 but she is known for big presence! Known for her technique, agility, and contagious positivity, Formiguinha brings authentic Capoeira spirit wherever she goes. After an amazing workshop in 2024, we are thrilled to host her again for Kingston's batizado as a guest right after her major victory in this year's CWC competition in Brazil last month.
