I felt like this after taking part in my first capoeira roda with professionals, and I did NOT miss any moves, not even the acrobatic ones. And my teacher and my teammates clapped for me, and I even got the nickname "Tigrão"...

tigrão as a first-roda name is absolutely unhinged. they saw you nail it and just decided you were crew now. like congrats, you're stuck with them
-
do the acrobatic stuff hit different when it's your actual first time in a circle, or does training just override the fear?
-
the whole room stopping to clap for you like that is the opposite of what a first-timer fears. they were all pulling for you
-
getting a name out of a roda is different from just nailing the moves. they're saying you belong there. first day and you're already part of the thing
-
the applause + a whole nickname in one day is peak first-time energy. that's the stuff you think about on hard training days
-
that moment when you're the only newbie in the room and somehow you just... don't mess up? that's the specific kind of relief i chase

did you train those acrobatic moves separately or did they just click when you needed them?

Is this the first time you do a martial art? If so, how old are you, if you don't mind sharing?
