In April of 2011 Mestre Betinho founded the group Capoeira Karkara along with his original master, Mestre Berico, in order to more fully and freely share and incorporate all aspects of the dynamic and diverse art form of capoeira into his practice and teachings.
Mestre Betinho’s group was based out of the DeVos Blum Family YMCA and other local Boynton Beach gyms until December of 2011, and in January of 2012 he opened his first capoeira studio. The Capoeira Karkara community grew so much that he outgrew his first studio and moved 5 years later in January 2017 into a beautiful new 4,000 square foot facility
