“Luis is mainly known as Cantareira. This tag started right as Oliveira joined his local jiu-jitsu academy at the age of 15. At the time, he was shy and spoke very softly, two traits that were the subject of friendly banter among the senior members of the workgroup. Also during this period, the region was going through a dry spell and the local river, River Cantareira, was very low in volume and nearly down to creek levels. One of the jokes made of Luis Oliveira's presence was that it was as lacking in volume as the Cantareira river, a jest that became associated with the talented grappler in the nickname Cantareira.”
