​@@TheModernMartialArtistSuriname is a dutch colony. And has other great dutch kickboxing fighters.

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.

Remy Bonjasky was one of the most entertaining fighters to watch.

Holy crap that dude is frightening.

4:23 "...accurate airborne violence..." 😂 He was my favorite K1 fighter!

This is my favorite fighter from the K1 era! As a Dutch kid back in the day was watching all his fights live at Eurosports! Saw all the greats from the K1 Grand Prix 🤜🏻🤛🏻

I appreciate you given Mr. REMY Bonjasky, his flowers .

His defense was something else too.

I looked at the image and was like is that Remy? And immediately went yes! Him and Rob Kamen were my rabbit hole to kickboxing

Without any doubt he's the greatest kickboxer ever. Very complete, powerful, and fluid fighter. Plus his resume is crazy: He beat Hoost, Hari, Overeem, Le Banner, CroCop, Leko, Saki, Sefo, Ignashov, Graham, Zimmerman, Manhoef, Musashi, Feitosa, Goodridge,...

Remy bonjasky is possibly my inspiration when it comes to Dutch style kickboxing

@m.o.5291

4 ай бұрын

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

He is more to muaythai than to Dutch kickboxing.

Definitely one of my favorite K1 fighters back in the day

His disguised high-kick is Samart levels of hip dexterity, placement and speed, brilliant lad!

The Best Way I Could some his style up is, Rigid but relaxed, Swift but calculated.

He was actually known as The Flying Dutchman, as a reference to the famous train The Flying Scotsman. Taking one of those kicks was like being hit by a train .

Thank you for doing this. Ive always loved Bonjaski. I was born in 1984 and was able to watch quite a few of these early K-1, Pride,UFC, KOTC, in practically real time.

Best Dutch Heavy Kickbokser😬👊

What this man does in the ring is art, could watch him fight for hours.

Remy in that tophat was a gud idea

Suriname (Surinam) where he's from is a former Dutch colony. This man was trained in, and has to be seen as an ambassador of dutch style kickboxing. The flying stuff blended in is all him though, thats not part of the standard dutch style

So glad you made a video on him

Great video, should do a breakdown on masato next

I love these kickboxing videos of yours so much.

Sapping from bit by bit to drop folks so unexpectly. Fantastic.

The only fights I wanted to watch back in the day were Remy.

Great leg switching technique, footwork, and flying kicks, but it’s his height that made his kicks effective. 🙏🏼😊

Thanks a lot for such a vid

man,.,,, i loved the old K1 days

Remy was unreal

That shin is like a baseball bat to your head you never saw coming

make a video about the glory grand prix!

I remember Remy from eurosport back in the day where he was heavily featured,my mom and i used to call him The Panther

Idk why but.... his moves makes so so much sense to me. He is so artful with his surprises. As a slim dude this just seems tp be perfect for larger opponents. Beautiful ❣️

great video, just wanted to add some context: Akebono was a top 10 all time great sumo wrestler who started kickboxing after retiring from a 12 year career (because of injury)

The Flying Dutch Man

This is a banger 🎉

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

Will there be a video on Semmy Schilt too ? To cover all the original triple K-1 WGP champs you know.

The Flying Dutchman

Powerful technique

legend

I loved watching K1 as teen.. There were so many up and coming champions.. I remember the match with Bob Sapp.. That was just something hilarious.. Bob was doing his classic bulldozer with short nitro and Remi kept bunny hopping..

Cool!

LEGEND

I've never even heard of this guy, you've got to be the only one who's ever covered this. What a shame

This fighter is actually holding back because he doesn't desire to kill

Iron mike zambidis breakdown video please 🙏

Bad man

wow

It's Suriname, not Sudan.

Could we get a Chingiz Allazov breakdown?

Many top kick or thai boxers or from surinam origin or still are surinamese, tyrone spong being one of them. Regian Eersel current champion and a few more of them also champions...

1:47 permanent DQ for Bad Boi

5:31 sheeeeeesh!

Kick to the face is bad enough but the knee is even more deadly!

MORE KICKBOXING CONTENT AAAAAA

Great breakdown, but it was hard to watch Goodridge getting KO'd like that, knowing the CTE he would suffer later. Besides that, I guess the lesson is that any tool can be trained and incorporated if one trains it well.

😮Hoooollly shiaaat👀...I'm not sure if I'm watching K1 or K'Dash from King of Fighters--that flying kick to the face blew out that dude's modem and made his disc unreadable 😂😂😂

I was having doubts about Sudan, seeing his name. What a great fighter though!!!

@guillermoshepperd1719

He's from Suriname (South America )

FUCK YEAH!!

I was excited for a minute when I thought he was Sudanese (even though his name isn’t and he doesn’t look it lol). We’ve never had a great fighter from these parts of Africa, or east Africa, but yes he’s Surinamese/dutch kick-boxer, and there are already many of those.

I noticed he is significantly taller than the other guy he’s fighting bob sapp is huge same with badr and he was taller than either of them wild he’s massive and would cause havoc in the ufc imagine

I would say his height plays a big part. His waist level round house kicks have to travel less to hit someone in the head then most people and so less telegraphed and less requiement for flexibility. His knees are like spears.

Heroic fighter & a stand-out nice guy outside the ring. He had the balls to publicly criticise the CV19 'policies' too.

Badr Hari gets a pass, but Bob Sapp should know better 🤣 He ain’t even commit to breaking the rules. Badr decided to go and fuckin’ went with no regrets or second thoughts.

This man was a true ass kicker 😂💯🥇🥷🏽

scary.

Did I hear a little bit of Vinland Saga inspired music in there?

That dude has some long legs.

He’s a sniper with the feet insane never seen him fight before they’re hiding him

He’s just like me fr 🥲

00:52

As a former very tiny child who could jump very high this is how I used to play fight all the bigger kids😂. I may have been about 60 lbs when I got into middle school but all 60 of it was coming behind a knee or flying kick 🤣.

Please do a Floyd Mayweather jr vs Manny Pacquiao breakdown please? 🥺

Bro out here fighting like a Tekken character 😂

Sapp must be the most jacked dude to ever be beaten up on the regular.

@5:29 - Opp KO'd on his feet... arms become disconnected from brain about halfway down.

That ref tho 1:48

He's over 6 feet tall but flies like someone much shorter and lighter

Knees are so dangerous
