I've been training at Autore for nearly two years now, and while my journey has had its share of ups and downs, particularly with injuries, each time I step onto the mats, I am genuinely reminded of how special this place is. The academy has a warm and inviting atmosphere. It’s a beautiful gym, open in space, almost like a work of art, where I can fully immerse myself in Jiu-Jitsu and refine my skills. It's located in Brentwood, and it's a very safe place to train. Although I live on the other side of the city and it takes me an hour to get there, the journey is always worthwhile. Throughout my time here, I’ve been fortunate to connect with the Fonseca brothers, who have played a vital role in my growth, not just as a practitioner but as an individual. Their coaching, along with the meaningful style of jiu-jitsu shared between them, has truly helped me push my creativity in my game. Getting to have two coaches gives you perspective and
Gustavo and Alexis, the head instructors at Autore, have cultivated a great learning environment for their students. Their instruction is very technical, detailed, and they know how to organize the structure of each class so we get the most out of our time. They are very attentive of all of their students and give feedback from live rounds, which I personally think is critical when looking for a good gym. The training environment is also very welcoming, supportive, and is great whether you are a beginner or have more experience. The class schedule also offers a lot of flexibility with 6AM, 11AM, and 6PM classes throughout the week making it easy to find a time to train. I highly recommend Autore for people of all experience levels (and ages, because there are kids classes!).
Just a visitor passing through town. Didn't know much about Autore or it's lineage until after the fact. Been training jiujitsu for almost 8 years, and I can be honest with myself, I'm not a quick learner. I require many repetitions and an annoying amount of questions to the teacher about who, what, when, how, and why. I spent three days at Autore and attended several classes per day in the gi, and No gi (which I'm terrible at.) Professor Gustavo emphasized his approach teaching Brazilian Jiujitsu that was digestible to the student. He is able to articulate and demonstrate concisely. I left adding jiujitsu techniques that I use and execute in live rounds! Come check this place out. Thank you Coaches!
Very friendly teaching Professors and world-class instruction. I believe this would be a great place for both adults and kids. Very clean and professional looking environment! Well structured classes that both beginners and experienced individuals can thrive and learn. They do an great job of making everything easy to understand and they do take the time to get to know their students. If you’re looking for a great community that also teaches great Jiu Jitsu, I think you will really like it there. I think it would be worth your time even if you’re just thinking about starting!
If you are wondering about self defense, wanting to learn a detailed martial art or looking to elevate your current jiu jitsu skills, this is your place. The curriculum, the learning experience, the attention to detail Gustavo and Lex have are unmatched. They have had many great teachers in their past and they bring those teachings together in their gym. This is a very good academy to train,learn and grow your Jiu Jitsu :) definitely recommend to all. Also they have a great kids program!
Autore Jiu-Jitsu = vibes, skills, and family all in one! Whether you’re stepping on the mats for the first time or you’ve been training for years, Prof. Gu and Prof. Alex are with you every step—teaching, motivating, and making it fun. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with smiles, great energy, and a community that feels like home. The training is top-notch, every detail is on point, the atmosphere is unbeatable, and the vibes? Does not lie.
