Amateur

Kohler's sporting ambitions began at the age of eight with judo which she learned at the Colop Samurai. At 17 years old, she moved to WTF-Taekwondo, where she won several national and international titles. At 19 she took up kickboxing at the Viennese Kampfsportverein Kumgang (Kumang Martial Arts Club). With encouragement from coaches Roman Sendor and Robert Kolerus, she soon became the best known member of the club. In the 2002 World Kickboxing Association World Championship in Marina di Massa, Italy, Köhler won a Silver Medal in full contact. In 2003, she won awards in Full Contact with lowkicks in Antwerp, Belgium, as well as in Light Contact in Killarney, Ireland. She competed, along with some 2600 athletes, in the Kickboxing World Championship, organized jointly in 2004 by the WKA and IAKSA associations and held in Basel, Switzerland. At this event Köhler won the Gold Medal in light contact and again won Full Contact with lowkicks. In 2005, she won the World Championship title in traditional Full Contact and Full Contact with lowkicks. At the IAKSA she won with traditional full contact, full contact with low kicks and in semicontact classes.

Professional career

Since 2007, after a short detour to Austrian amateur boxing, Köhler has been more involved in WIBF professional boxing. Under the training of the Polish-Austrian ex-Olympic boxer, Jerzy Kisiel, and under the tutelage of the Karlsruhe coach and promoter, Jürgen Lutz, who already helped advance the career Regina Halmichs when she began, she tried to gain a foothold in international professional circus so that her successes as an amateur can continue.

She fought her first professional bout on 7 January 2007 in Knielingen against the German Isabell Hoher and won on points. Hoher ended her career afterwards. In her second fight on March 31 of the same year in Karlsruhe, Köhler drew against the German Kira Schnürer, who was undefeated to this date.

On 2 September 2007, Köhler was defeated by Nadia Raoui, who was also unbeaten. On 9 February 2008, she also lost on points against the strong Israeli Hagar Finer, WIBF title bearer at superfly and bantamweight. In the return match three weeks later in Israel, Köhler lost by a knock-out in the ninth round.

On 21 April 2012, Köhler fought in Schwerin against Ina Menzer, but lost on points.
