Our club was founded in 1983 by István Gnyálin and Attila Veres who were at that time members of the Hungarian National Team.
They held the trainings in Tököl and in Szigetszentmiklós. Kickbox, which was extremely fashionable in the 80-ies became very quickly popular. The main objective of the first period was to make the sport known and make people like it.
The plans were very ambitious: create a team capable of achieving not only Hungarian championship titles but international ones, as well.
To achieve this goal we needed a broad base of young athletes and the foundation of a professional coaching knowledge which ensured
the success of the club in the long run.
The first serious results were achieved in the Budapest Championships when after 2 years of trainings our children returned by 7 gold medals at everybody’s surprise.
The good start was followed by a series of success for appr. 10 years. In this period, whenever a tournament was organised for the athletes of the future, it was always our club which scored the best.
We also organised a great many of events ourselves to please our sponsors and supporters.
In these years the initial mistrust disappeared towards this sport and we managed to win the respect of the people around us.
We say thank you for the success of the first 10 years for the Dunavarsány Petőfi TSZ, Kisdunamenti Takarékszövetkezet, Kuncze Gábor,
Kiss Lajos, Miklós Ferenc, Tomin Márton, Hoffman Pál, Uri József and Papp István.

In year 1992 encouraged by Pál Hoffman, the major of Tököl we took on the name Szigetszentmiklós-Tököl SE.
The combined support of the two municipalities and the support of further sponsors enabled us to take part in grown-up and international tournaments, as well.
The second, 10-year period brought with itself lots of further success, too.
In this period too, lots of athletes have competed in the club
achieving medals both in Hungarian and international championships.
