Our story

How it started

NKT was founded in Rome in 2014, with a clear focus on technical development, discipline and respect for Muay Thai.

Our method has grown through competition, five training trips to Thailand and international experience across Europe and North Africa. NKT athletes have won FEDERKOMBAT Italian titles, represented Italy and competed at the IFMA World Championships.

Today, NKT welcomes both beginners and athletes preparing for amateur and professional competitions. With national titles and a WMC Italian title achieved in 2026, we continue to develop high-level Muay Thai in Rome.
