""Tubarão" which is the Portuguese word for "Shark". The name started after Emyr silkscreened the symbol of a shark on to his kimono (Bussade's favorite animal at the time), he was a blue belt then and his training peers started calling him "Tubarão". Once he embroidered the word on his belt, the name was forever associated with Emyr. Once Bussade moved to the United States in 2002, the nickname was translated to English, becoming known as Emyr "Shark" Bussade."
