In capoeira we start facing each other at the foot of the berimbau (that's the fishing rod like instrument that detirmines the tempo and mood of the game).
The master sings a "ladainha" that gives respect to previous masters and when the music moves into call and response, the 2 players can begin. They always shake hands before and after the game, sort of as if to make sure there is no ill feeling between the two.
