""Tigrão" which means Big Tiger in Portuguese. The nickname started with his first jiu-jitsu instructor, Lino Cotti. Cotti's gym was a few blocks from Igor's home, as such 10-year-old Schneider would often borrow his mother's keys and walk by himself to the gym. One day Igor forgot his key at the gym, which had a miniature tiger as a keyring. Coach Lino Cotti found the tiger amusing and started calling Igor "Little Tiger". As Schneider grew, the name changed to Big Tiger."
