I have been a practitioner of the martial arts for over 20 years and I am continuously surprised of how deep the technical level of Ralf's style of Jiu Jitsu goes. When I first moved to Berlin, I searched the city for places to train and gauged the martial arts scene in the city. There were quite a few jiu jitsu places that trained in the gi that offered classes in no-gi. But gi is not really my cup of tea and I wanted to be taught by a no-gi specialist. I had done no-gi jiu jitsu at a 10th Planet school a couple of times before and really enjoyed it, so when I saw that there was a 10th Planet black belt in Berlin, I knew I had to start training with him. First day of class we drilled heel hooks, straight ankle locks, and knee bars in a class full of white belts. We even rolled after using the same techniques and there was not one injury. Ralf was very clear and concise about how to drill each and every technique safely. Classes are also taught in both English and German. Ralf teaches the 10th Planet System and catch wrestling chain submission chains in tandem along with his own personal style. He teaches us not just techniques, but rather jiu jitsu concepts that help our over all game that can be applied to any style. After only 4 months of training jiu jitsu with Ralf, I was able to tap out an experience purple belt two times (with some coaching) and managed to get tapped out only two times as a white belt. In addition to being a great jiu jitsu coach, Ralf is also a trained naturopathic medicine practitioner and chiropractor with an extensive knowledge of anatomy. In less than 10 seconds, he completely fixed my dislocated hip that I suffered from on and off since 2013. Also using physical therapy exercises, he helped rehabilitate and fix my knee that I had injured in early 2018 by doing the rubber guard improperly. Ever since, I try to make it to every class that is offered due to how much it helps maintain my health and it keeps my skills and mind sharp. If you're looking for a well rounded jiu jitsu gym with a world class coach and an international atmosphere, this is the place for you.

I have been training and studying jiu-jitsu for around 7 years now before that I came from a kickboxing background and have trained in the martial art's for over 23 years now; however within the first hour of training under Mr. Warneking he has helped me improve my skillset tremendously and I learn each and every time I go to train with him and his students. Ralf's pedigree speaks for itself. Undefeated kickboxing champion, one of the original group of students to receive a jiu-jitsu black belt under Eddie Bravo. Ralph has countless victories in jiu-jitsu competition. Mr. Warneking has been able to successfully transfer his skills and knowledge into his passion for teaching and is an excellent instructor. It has been an absolute honour and a pleasure to learn from him. I highly recommend going to see him you will be amazed by his keen attention to detail and ability to guide you through any lesson.
