I doubt it has anything to do with football for a start just about every country in Europe bleeds youngsters in football early in life.
The only thing i could see in Holland that was diffrent from the UK was MT fights are advertised a lot more also the Dutch are a very tall nation so can produce a lot more heavy weights which is were they are most sucessfull.

Or you get "Oh, I do Tae Kwon Do, too" or "Tae bo? My mom does that..." type responses.

heh ik heb een tijdje in Kops Gym getrained ( waar Peter Aerts tot voor kort dus ook trainde ) ... en er waren aardig wat mensen in de gym zelfs die hem niet eens kende noch herkende.

wel een aardige gozer trouwens, Joval ook trouwens ( voor de boksfans )

I Believe The Dutch Dominate Because Tom Harink And Jan Plas Brought Muay Thai There After Training In Thailand.

Almost All Great Dutch Kickboxers Can Be Traced Back To These Two.

And The Dutch People Are Great Athletes With Great Courage.

I think it might just be the genes. My gf is Dutch (not born there though) and the first time I got her to train muay thai with me she surprised the shit out of me! She could kick and punch harder then the guys I was training with! (guys around 120-140 lbs)
