I have trained with Chris for many years, in many parts of the globe, since the first official BJJ Globetrotters Camp in Denmark. He has a deep knowledge of the grappling arts.

Chris is a very dedicated and qualified Jiu Jitsu black belt. I had the pleasure to learn from him in my gym last year.

100% trust the people that have promoted Chris and have heard nothing but good things about him

Chris Paines is most certainly a black belt. He has the infinite hunger for growth and complete disregard for comfort and safety. I have rolled with him, taught with him at Globetrotters camps, and booked him to teach in both the USA and Israel.

Chris P is pure awesome. Excellent teacher, terrifying grappler. I still haven't recovered from rolling with him when he was a blue belt, traumatised for life. :P

Chris is a funny Guy and proof that you don't need a Blackbelt in your Gym to get good. A couple of passionated Guys with the will to collect information wherever you find it is enough. He's more than legit.

Have trained with him at several camps and at his gym in Stafford. One of the few people who smiles more than me when doing something truly horrific to another human.

Been to his gym multiple times, trained with him at camps and seen doing what he loves most up close, bully people :)
