Raised in poverty in the neighborhood of Guaruja, São Paulo, Charles’ humble beginnings led him to be part of Brazil’s workforce very early in life. As a child, he often helped his mother sell cheese salads from a trailer. It was a difficult upbringing, but through this line of work he met and made friends with a few kids who trained jiu-jitsu.
Charles started training at around 12 years old, when those friends invited him to train at a local grappling academy. Although Oliveira’s guardians could not afford Charles’s tuition, his uncle, Paulo, knew the instructor and intervened on his behalf so the young man could train on a scholarship-type status.
Charles got the nickname “do Bronx” translating to “from Bronx”, since he trained
