Yeah and it still amazes me. I don't believe us Dutchmen are genetically better, hence that people like Badr Hari, Hoost en Bonjaski have either a Maroccan or Surinam background. It must be the training.
On the other hand, it is no secret how a regular Dutch training works. You set up a lowkick with some punches, or set up a flurry of punches with a lowkick (that's not all of course, but it's the first principle you learn)
The focus lies on explosive power and perfect technique. And it keeps working.
Why can't other schools get the same result? It's a big mystery for me. It is almost unbelievable that a country with only 16 million inhabitants has such a big share of top fighters.
