One of my favourite Taekwondo fighters years ago was a Turkish fighter named Serkan Yilmaz. After wining 3 out of his first 4 K1 fights, he went on a 5 fight losing streak. Regardless of his K1 record, the guy is simply a joy to watch. There are lots of people who have trained in Taekwondo who have went on to fight in K1 and other organisations but few who have heavily changed their style.
Below is a video of Serkan practising some kicks in the woods. It’s amazing how easy he makes some very difficult kicks look.
During a show a few years ago Serkan performed a beautiful 3 metre high kick for the audience; and he did it whilst wearing a suit!!
