How A Genius Martial Artist KO'd EVERYONE With Flying Kicks & Knees

  • Remy Bonjasky was one of the greatest martial artists of all time, capturing 3 K1 titles with his insane flying kicks and knees.
    There were 3 elements that I'd like to emphasize that I believe helped him to pull this off. The first is that he drilled the specialized, explosive attacks just like he would the basics. The second is that he used fluid footwork to blend these flying techniques into his everyday combinations. And the third is that he was a master at misdirection, getting opponent's to think about one punch or kick so that he could instead throw another, more powerful one.

    People who don't speak dutch might not fully understand why he got the name the flying gentleman. But, the dude is so nice and well/soft spoken. A walking (or flying) dichotomy and a perfect representative for martial arts, which was a welcome change especially in those days for the dutch kickboxing culture. Let's just say that we're not known for producing emotionally stable, cerebral, well dressed class acts.

      His version of the dutch style is very special though. You see Hoost his leg kick and check variation, Holzkens emphasis on boxing which already used as a part of the dutch style, but still, not many fight like him. Then Badr's go crazy and kill everything style and many more slight differences. Bonjasky did a lot more, he has all the dutch style elements but the way he moves, blends techniques and how athletic he was made him really special. He truly turned the dutch style into something else. Beautiful

    His knees and kicks had less surface area than his punches due to the lack of gloves and he used his pinpoint accuracy to slip them through guards that could've otherwise guarded a punch, so his style was very in sync against the defense most competitors would've been used to deploy. What an entertaining yet lethal style to watch
