INSTRUCTORS
Stafford, England, United KingdomBlack belt
Fighting Fit Grappling
Chris Paines is the head coach of Fighting Fit Grappling in Stafford, England. His teaching focuses on the mechanics that connect positions: how to control the head, knees and armpits, protect space and understand why a technique works. He developed that approach while training in a small club without a senior coach, testing ideas with his training partners. His classes use principles and live problem-solving rather than long lists of moves to memorize.
Tallinn, EstoniaBlack belt
Estum Jiu Jitsu
Priit Mihkelson is an Estonian Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt known for his work on defensive grappling. His teaching explores protective positions, transitions and progressive resistance rather than treating techniques as isolated sequences. He helped establish the MMA and BJJ club 3D Treening in 2005, developing his approach through experimentation and study. He is the creator of Defensive BJJ and head coach of Estum Jiu Jitsu in Estonia.
Heidelberg, GermanyBlack belt
Team Choco Heidelberg
Benjamin Mattern is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt based in Heidelberg, Germany, affiliated with Team Choco Heidelberg. His public training record lists Thomas Stoll as his black-belt promoting instructor in December 2025, following earlier brown- and purple-belt promotions at Team Choco. BJJ Globetrotters lists him among the instructors for its 2027 Zen Camp. His documented background connects the Heidelberg training community with international camp teaching.
Frankfurt, GermanyBlack belt
SC Budokan Maintal
Patrick Schreier is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and coach based in Germany. He leads BJJ competition training at SC Budokan Maintal, teaching in both gi and no-gi.
