I am Nelson Andrade Rodrigues Barros, African. I started Capoeira around 1989 with master Pedro Paulo de Abreu, in Carcavelos, Ludance. In Capoeira, I was called Nelsinho, but later, around 1993, I was baptized in Capoeira with the nickname Corisco, due to my great ability and speed in the game. From a very early age, I was a complete capoeirista, participating in various circles and presentations, being a good player, musician and singer of various Capoeira rhythms.

The Afro-Brazilian Capoeira Academy is an institution dedicated to the teaching and practice of Capoeira, a martial art of Afro-Brazilian origin that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, music and culture. The academy aims to promote Capoeira as a form of cultural expression, in addition to contributing to the appreciation and preservation of Afro-Brazilian traditions.
