Founded in 2016 by Mr. Don Rodger, Triangle Kickboxing Promotions’ Lightning Strikes Kickboxing & Muay Thai Series has been at the forefront of reintroducing Kickboxing and Muay Thai events to the Raleigh-Durham area.
Mr. Rodger, deeply passionate about these sports, sought to create a professional platform for coaches and athletes to showcase their skills. From the beginning, he has collaborated closely with the North Carolina Boxing & Combat Sports Commission and the International Kickboxing Federation (IKF) to update and standardize Kickboxing and Muay Thai rules for all events within the state.
Through the Lightning Strikes Series, Triangle Kickboxing Promotions has played a pivotal role in expanding the sport across North Carolina. As a result, more gyms, promotions, and athletes are joining the growing community of competitive Kickboxing and Muay Thai.
We invite Kickboxers, Muay Thai fighters, and enthusiasts to be a part of this exciting journey as we continue to grow the sport across North Carolina, along the East Coast, and beyond.
Our events are fully regulated by the North Carolina Boxing & Combat Sports Commission (NCBCSC) and sanctioned by the International Kickboxing Federation (IKF).
Triangle Kickboxing Promotions has proudly led the charge in shaping the Kickboxing and Muay Thai scene in North Carolina. Since 2016, we’ve gone beyond promoting events—we’ve helped advance rules, elevate safety standards, and establish a more professional landscape for the striking arts across the state.
What began in North Carolina has since expanded along the East Coast, and we’re now collaborating with talented athletes, coaches, and teams from across the country. Our Lightning Strikes series continues to be the go-to platform for high-level Kickboxing and Muay Thai competition in the Carolinas and beyond, giving fighters the exposure and experience they need to reach the next level.
As the only dedicated, IKF-sanctioned Kickboxing and Muay Thai promotion in North Carolina, we remain focused on growing the sport—one athlete, one event, and one opportunity at a time.
