they have created their very own style of kickboxing and they were the first to beat Thai fighters at their own game.

Yeah, there was a time in the late 90s/early 2000s when they were just ridiculously dominant in the kickboxing world. Aerts, Hoost, Kaman, Dekkers, all those dudes were bad to the bone. I never really became a fan of Schilt, but there was no denying he was a legendary fighter as well. Bonjasky was cool, though a bit of an overachiever. Souwer and Kraus were excellent at the lower weights, Souwer especially, despite his loss to Kraus early in his career.

Even second-tier guys like Venetiaan and Van Dams were tough as hell (Venetiaan actually beat Bonjasky). Rene Rooze was also a legit badass. Anyone remember him?

Yes, I watched tons of old school Dutch kickboxing, from when Aerts was a youngster and fought Frank Lobman. All those old fights was great!
