Denise Krahn

Black Belt

Denise Krahn

BJJ Black Belt, multiple-time world and European champion, and one of the most successful German Jiu-Jitsu and grappling athletes.

Denise's role at Hilti BJJ Berlin goes far beyond kids' and youth training. She also leads the Competition Class, the CLA Class, and the Women's Class, guiding a wide range of athletes — from first steps on the mats all the way to competition preparation.

She's one of the most successful German grapplers of all time and is today considered the most successful active German BJJ athlete at the international black belt level.

Her coaching combines technical precision, competition experience, and clear, long-term athlete development — in kids' and youth training just as much as in the Competition Class, the CLA Class, and the Women's Class.
