From the legends of yesterday to the young champions of tomorrow, Romania continues to be a great nation of combat sports. 🇷🇴🥊 Its champions, traditions and fighting spirit have earned the country international recognition.
More than 25 years ago, WKN World President Stéphane Cabrera, together with his friend Éduard Irimia, contributed to transforming the Romanian combat sports scene by developing kickboxing and bringing it to a level never reached before in the country.
Today, seeing these young champions carrying the Romanian fighting tradition forward is a powerful symbol of continuity between generations.
