A New Era for SN Combat Academy and Team England
SN Combat Academy is proud to announce a monumental achievement for our founder and head coach, Khru Sam Nankani, who has officially been appointed Vice President of AFSO (Amateur Fighting Sports Organisation) and Head Coach of England Ringsports for the upcoming World Championships.
This marks a significant milestone not only for Khru Sam, but for the entire SN Combat family, as his leadership now extends to shaping the future of fighters on a national and international level.


🇬🇧 Raising the Standard for England
With this new role, Khru Sam is already setting the tone — opening up England Squad Training sessions at SN Combat Academy in Croydon, designed for fighters who are ready to push beyond average and step into an elite, high-performance environment.
These sessions are more than just training. They are a gateway to international competition, offering fighters the opportunity to:
- Train alongside top-level athletes
- Experience elite sparring and coaching
- Be assessed for England Team selection
- Prepare for World Championship competition
This initiative reflects Khru Sam’s vision: to raise the standard of UK fighters and build a stronger, more competitive England squad.
💥 Pathway to the World Stage
Under Khru Sam’s leadership, fighters now have a clear pathway to:
- Represent England at the World Championships
- Compete in major UK and international shows
- Develop within a structured, high-level system
- Even progress towards becoming certified referees within the sport
With a proven track record of contributing to 59 Gold Medal Champions across Muay Thai and K-1, Khru Sam brings unmatched experience, insight, and discipline to the national stage.
🏆 Built From SN Combat, Leading the World
This achievement is a testament to years of dedication, consistency, and belief in the SN Combat system. From developing champions at grassroots level to now leading England on the global stage, Khru Sam continues to set the benchmark.
For SN Combat Academy, this is more than recognition — it’s validation of a philosophy built on discipline, precision, and the student-teacher connection.
🔥 The Journey Continues
