Michal Kaminski

2. Dan Blackbelt BJJ

With over 15 years of training experience, I am a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, initiated into the art at the Linke Gold Team (an affiliation of Macaco Gold Team, led by the renowned Jorge "Macaco" Patino from Sao Paulo, Brazil) in Szczecin, Poland. In 2018, I had the honor of receiving my black belt from coach Mariusz "Manolo" Linke, a legend in MMA and BJJ and one of the first-ever black belts in Poland and Eastern Europe. Currently residing in Berlin, Germany, I train and coach at GFTeam Berlin/Spitfire Gym, under the guidance of professors Julio Cesar and Gabriel Rainho. Beyond the mats, I am a licensed medical doctor in Germany and Poland, with over 11 years of practice in anesthesia, critical care, and emergency medicine. My passion for sports medicine has led me to blend scientific knowledge with practical application in grappling sports, benefiting athletes' health, performance, and recovery. Regularly, I consult MMA and BJJ athletes on supplementation regimes, hormonal balance, and mat injury management, along with providing lifestyle tips to optimize their physical and mental well-being.

Habip Burak

Blackbelt BJJ

I started BJJ/NoGi in 2012/2013 at Spitfire Gym under Ulf Ehlert (at that time with Alliance) and also trained for six months in Mannheim at the SDS Academy under Spiros and Cristina. As a blue belt, I trained a lot of wrestling and am generally a big sports enthusiast. For me, it's not just sports but an entire lifestyle through which I pass on values, principles, experience, and knowledge. Most of the time, I go through the world smiling, patient, open-minded, and friendly. Don't mistake kindness for weakness. Be respectful, and you will earn respect.

Marco Vendramin

Blackbelt BJJ

I started BJJ in 2012/2013 and have trained in four different countries. I am by no means a talented practitioner, but I embody the principle of "stick with it, and eventually, you will succeed." I don't talk much and speak softly, which means you won't hear me if you don't stop talking while I'm teaching. I prefer to look at the numbers rather than pretend to like you. But ultimately, I am a good person. My favorite quote in BJJ is: "It's not about who is good, but who is left."

Tori-Anna

Purplebelt BJJ

I started training BJJ again in 2021, after having trained Judo and Jiu-Jitsu in my childhood. Since then, I have become totally obsessed with this sport and love learning more about it and participating in competitions. Recently, I also started coaching on the mat. I'm still finding my own style, but I learn something new every day and really enjoy sharing my knowledge. It is especially important to me to support and promote women in martial arts. I greatly enjoy accompanying and empowering them on their journey. Off the mat, I study business administration at Humboldt University, but you will mostly find me on the mat (or pumping iron), even when I should be studying. I am looking forward to training with you and supporting you on your BJJ journey!

Daniel Beguhl

Blackbelt BJJ

I began training Brazilian jiu jitsu in 2011 at Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu under Dave Camarillo. At Guerrilla, there was a heavy emphasis on melding different grappling sports like judo and wrestling into our practice. Under Dave’s tutelage, I earned my purple belt and had the opportunity to teach kid and adult classes. In 2016, I moved to Berlin and continued training with GF Team under Gabriel Rainho and was given my black belt in 2022. My grappling style is still heavily influenced by my time at Guerrilla, utilizing jiu jitsu as a means to incorporate other grappling arts into my grappling style. I want my students to feel confident on the mats and in the street, comfortable on their backs or on their feet.

Angie

Whitebelt BJJ

I'm Angie and I've been working as a teacher at a primary school since 2018. At the beginning of this year (2024) I discovered BJJ and found a perfect balance to my stressful morning. I see the children's course as having great potential to give the children self-confidence and motivation for exercise and martial arts (& possibly also to improve my own skills :D). Thanks to my empathy and teaching skills, I can introduce the children to the sport in a playful and slow manner and serve as a role model, especially for young girls, to take part in martial arts and stick with it. I look forward to working with the kids and supporting them on their individual path to BJJ.

Antoine

Blackbelt BJJ

I have been passionately training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since 2012 and have completed all belts from white to black under the guidance of Gabriel Rainho and Arno Spreen. As a member of the Spitfire Gym from the very beginning, I have known Michał, Burak and Marco for many years. I am also active as a hobby competitor and bring my experiences from numerous competitions into the classroom. As a father and primary school teacher, I combine patience, humor and clear communication with the right training intensity. Away from the mat, I'm usually out and about by bike or in nature - whether for daily exercise or to relax. I place great value on respect and enjoyment in training to help each member reach their full potential. See you on the mat!
