Johanna Kneer: The Shining New Brand Ambassador of Century Martial Arts

Century Martial Arts has a new ambassador – and she couldn't be more impressive! Johanna Kneer, a 26-year-old exceptional athlete from Ravensburg, not only represents the values of discipline and excellence but also the relentless will to surpass herself. Her career is a prime example of what is possible when talent and hard work go hand in hand.

From Ravensburg to the World Stage

Johanna Kneer, born on December 25, 1997, began her journey in karate at a young age. At seven years old, she joined KJC Ravensburg – a club that has accompanied and shaped her to this day. Under the expert guidance of her coaches, Johanna reached milestones that gained attention far beyond the borders of Ravensburg. As early as 2004, she showed on the mat that she was ready to achieve great things, and today she proudly holds the 3rd Dan.

A Star in the National Team

Since 2013, Johanna Kneer has been a member of the German national team – a decade full of successes and memories. In the youth sector, she was already a phenomenon early on. As the 2013 Youth World Champion and multiple medalist at U16 and U18 European Championships, she made her mark internationally.

But Johanna never rested on her laurels. On the contrary: she fought her way to the top of Europe and won the title of European Champion in 2023 and 2024 – not only in individual competition but also in the team competition alongside Mia Bitsch. Her achievements cemented her status as one of the best karateka of her generation.

Medal Success on the World Stage

Johanna Kneer is also unstoppable on the global stage. She triumphed twice in the prestigious Karate Premier League and won gold at the 2023 European Games in Poland. Most recently, she crowned her outstanding form with another victory at the Series A in Salzburg in September 2024.

This impressive success story has catapulted Johanna to 3rd place in the world rankings. This places her among the world’s elite, with excellent prospects to participate in next year's World Games – the "Olympic Games" of karate.

Why Johanna Kneer and Century Martial Arts Are a Perfect Match

Century Martial Arts is known worldwide for its high-quality karate products and its commitment to the martial arts community. With Johanna Kneer as a brand ambassador, the company gains an athlete who embodies passion, precision, and fighting spirit. She is not only a role model for young karateka but also a symbol of the values that make martial arts so special.

Johanna herself is excited about her new role: "I am thrilled to be part of the Century Martial Arts family. Karate is not just my sport; it’s my passion – and I’m proud to share this enthusiasm with others."

The Future is Bright

The future looks bright for Johanna Kneer. Her goals are clear: to participate in the World Games and achieve further victories on the international stage. But one thing is certain – no matter what challenges lie ahead, Johanna will face them with the same determination that has always defined her.

We can look forward to what the coming years hold for Johanna Kneer. One thing is clear, though: with her talent and mindset, she will continue to captivate the karate world for a long time. Century Martial Arts has made an incredible choice – and the martial arts world has gained a new icon.
