Gasparetto BJJ is the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school of coach Mauricio Gasparetto, a black belt trained and promoted in Brazil by Mestre Guga Fraga. We train inside the LEVSPORT Altorreal facilities, in Molina de Segura.
You don't need any prior fitness, and you don't need to have ever stepped on a mat. Our programmes run from absolute beginnings, through kids' classes, self-defense and women's safety, to technical refinement for advanced practitioners.
Jiu-Jitsu adapts to the person and their stage of life — never the other way around. Choose your starting point.
In your first class you won't compete against anyone. You'll learn to break your falls without getting hurt, to manage a safe distance and to control your breathing under stress. Technical progress comes later, at your own pace.
Every session follows the same teaching principle: biomechanical precision, intelligent progression and real understanding of movement — whatever the discipline or the level you start from.
You'll learn to stay calm and resolve risky situations with the minimum force necessary.
A progressive method to understand the physics of hand-to-hand grappling, step by step.
Agile training focused on direct anatomical control and reaction speed.
A solid foundation where children build personal confidence without encouraging aggression.
The most efficient way to go deeper into the details and reach your technical goals.
Professional programme
Restraining someone should never depend on physical strength or end in injury — for the officer or for the person being restrained. Jiu-Jitsu provides the exact technical answer: positional advantage, anatomical leverage and joint control, strictly within the principles of proportionality and lawful use of force.
Policía Local, Guardia Civil, Policía Nacional, private security, firefighters and prison services (Instituciones Penitenciarias). Closed groups and schedules adapted to rotating shifts are possible.
Ask about conditionsI'm Mauricio Gasparetto Fonseca, a black belt trained and promoted in Brazil by Mestre Guga Fraga. I lead the teaching at Gasparetto BJJ, in Altorreal.
For me, Jiu-Jitsu is a school of character that builds calm, self-confidence and real defensive ability. A discipline that cultivates focus, consistency and self-mastery. On the mat we learn to fall and get back up, to take victory in stride and to learn from defeat. It is the art of biomechanical intelligence — the great equalizer that levels the field against any physical disadvantage.
When I asked Mestre Guga Fraga what the key to being a good teacher was, his answer defined my path:
“When you teach, put all your attention on the details: that is where Jiu-Jitsu truly transforms a student.”
I teach every day in Altorreal with that same dedication: because details are what make the difference and shape confident people on and off the mat.
Recent results, Brazilian roots and ongoing education.
Jiu-Jitsu’s origins trace back roughly 2,500 years to the mountains of India, where Buddhist monks developed self-defense methods based on balance, leverage, and redirecting an opponent’s energy. These practices spread through China and eventually reached Japan, where the art was refined and systematized.
In Japan, Jiu-Jitsu was practiced by samurai as unarmed combat. In the 19th century, Jigorō Kanō (1860–1938) organized and enhanced traditional methods, creating Judo and founding the Kōdōkan. Kanō emphasized throws and groundwork, introducing a more scientific, educational approach.
Among his students was Mitsuyo Maeda (1878–1941), known as “Count Koma,” who also trained with Mataemon Tanabe (1869–1942) of Fusen-ryū, renowned for ground fighting. Exposure to Kanō and Tanabe led Maeda to master both throwing and ground skills — which he later passed on in Brazil.
In the early 20th century, Mitsuyo Maeda settled in Belém do Pará, northern Brazil, where he met Gastão Gracie, who helped him establish himself. In gratitude, Maeda taught Jiu-Jitsu to Gastão’s eldest son, Carlos Gracie.
Carlos fell in love with the art and devoted himself to it. Later, in Rio de Janeiro, he began teaching as an extra income source and led his brothers in a series of challenge matches to build credibility.
The youngest brother, Hélio, faced health limitations and spent years observing. At 16, he started a class for Carlos and impressed the student. Teaching led him to adapt techniques for efficiency through leverage, positioning and smart energy use, giving birth to Gracie Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ).
The Gracies publicly tested their system for decades, cementing their reputation.
In 1993, Royce Gracie won UFC 1, 2 and 4, defeating larger opponents through technique, strategy and control, and BJJ went worldwide.
