AUTORE BJJ

Autore BJJ, the staff, and all the members have been nothing but supportive, welcoming, and encouraging. I feel spoiled to have them so close to my apartment. If you live anywhere in LA or you’re traveling through make sure to get in a session with these guys, you’ll love it!!

Thank you for the positive and supportive experience in my first class. A state of the art environment with positive experience and knowledgeable curriculum. Special thanks to the instructors for their thorough class, very involved in the students growth and understanding of technique. The students are very welcoming and helpful to new people. I left with a positive attitude about their guidance on the mat and applicable useful techniques. A great school for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.

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 style. The environment within the academy is incredible. Everyone is better than me. It was a heartfelt moment when I was introduced to Autore by someone who was special and changed my life. It was her that made me want to become better in the Gi. A surprise turned into a moment marked by a turning point in my Jiu-Jitsu journey, transforming it for the better. I am profoundly grateful for this place. I will continue to train here until my next journey. Always Forward.

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!

World-class instruction from former AOJ professors in the west LA area! Safe training environment, structured curriculum, and supportive community. Top 1% among any school I’ve visited for facilitating a beginner’s endeavor into the sport. Plan on street parking- you can usually find a spot at the intersection of Montana and Bundy. Walk up the ramp towards the Autore sign, and enter the stairwell door to the left of the garage. Great vibes here! Have fun!
