Our Story

The Fonseca
Brothers

Alexis and Gustavo Fonseca are the founders of AUTORE. Their Jiu Jitsu journey began in Hawaii, where a shared passion for the discipline took root and evolved into a lifelong pursuit.

They later relocated to Southern California to continue their development, training at Art of Jiu Jitsu under Rafael and Guilherme Mendes.

After years of dedicated training and competition, both brothers earned their black belts.

Today, they bring that experience to AUTORE — offering a modern, structured approach to Jiu Jitsu built on precision, progression, and a high standard of training.
