Ralf Warneking is Europe’s first 10th Planet black belt under Master Eddie Bravo and the thirteenth black belt within the system.
In 2011 Ralf won the IBJJF NoGi World Championship in the Super-Heavy and Open Class brown belt division. As a purple belt, he took first and second place in the Super Heavy and Open Class divisions at the 2009 IBJJF World Championships in Long Beach, California.
11 years of Mastering the System (from white to black belt) at 10th Planet HQ, he returned to Germany to bring the 10th Planet system to Berlin.
Now in his fifties, Ralf is Germany’s only 10th Planet black belt. He still competes regularly, recently winning gold in the Masters’ Division at the 2018 NAGA European Championships in Amsterdam.
With an additional black belt in stand-up combat under Viktor Köhl, a degree in natural medicine and certified personal trainer, Ralf is passionate about spreading the 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu system throughout Europe.
