Elvira Karppinen is a grappler from Finland and a black belt in the 10th Planet system, a rank awarded by the team's founder Eddie Bravo. Elvira worked extensively with Lauri Karppinen (husband and 10P Finland pioneer), being a Brazilian jiu-jitsu (gi) black belt under Magnus Hansson. Karppinen first made waves in submission-grappling after a stellar performance as a brown belt, at the ADCC World Championship in 2017, a time when she defeated the fan-favorite Mackenzie Dern.
