- Ernesto Hoost was an elite martial artist so good that he lived up to his knick name of Mr. Perfect. The dutch fighter skillfully took from multiple styles and strategies to learn a million and one ways to set up his devastating low kicks. Many consider him to be the greatest kickboxer of all time.
Hoost took titles in Muay Thai, Savate, and K1, winning the prestigious Kickboxing organizations championship belt an astounding 4 times.
Hoost was by no means the strongest, biggest, fastest, or most powerful kickboxer in the world. But what he did have was an absolutely insane low kick, and the intelligence to put it to good use.

Ernesto Hoost is pronounced as HOST, not "Hoost". So HOOST sounds like TOAST or ghost, most or roast. In Nederlands (Dutch) a double O is pronounced as a LONG O. To get the sound of "boost" or "roost" you add an E after the O. (voet = foot and voetbal = football) I am telling you this as I have been mega annoyed at "professionals" messing up Ernesto's name. GET IT RIGHT!!!
@@receptieletoile7595 Yes I know, but since the announcers and commentators pronounced it oo for so long and since he never complained when interviewers said it with the oo I figured it was easier to go with the more well known variation and also that he didn't care about it.
love seein hoost stuff. bob sapp vs hoost 2 is just....epic
This is one of the better breakdowns of Ernesto bro. Miss watching him and Bob Sapp
@White Rider Born and Bred Dutchman he is! I’m pretty sure that not all people with black(ish) color are from Africa nowadays…
“Everyone has a plan until they get kicked in the leg” - Ernesto Hoost probably
😂
That probably got me bro
Or until they face Bob Zapp 😁
Now kith
😭😭
Hoosts leg kick KO's explained: "They really fucking hurt"
😂
Hahahaha....Brilliant
“Mirko Cro Cop... but faster...”
Can't hurt when you're asleep...
No better way to say it.
Trainer of Hoost's opponent:
"Alright kid, break a leg!"
Fighter: "......fuck you."
You are a jerk...but a funny one. Lmao
@@dresheraton9276 😂
🤣🤣🤣
I'm dead
LMAO! Comment of the century! :D
His low kick is a signature style form the gym he trained at . Vos gym in Amsterdam. All fighters that came out of that gym in the 1990 /99 era had this style trained into you day in day out and it was a matter of pride of how hard your lower legs could kick and take a kick . I was there during this period and I can still feel the bumps on my shin today
me 2, I can feel the bruises still, and I didnt even go to the camp.
Strengths:
Counter Kicks
Face up Kicks
Kicks in Clinch
Weakness: Not Kicking
And he took that weakness out by massively improving his boxing
Lol
Weakness: Bob Sapp
Get your kicks... , on Route 66 !!
clinch?
"His boxing got much much better, and Hoost used his new found skill, to... you wont believe this... set up more kicks" Nice one, got me to bark with laughter :D
Right... Set up more kicks.. lol
😂🤣😆
He got a chuckle out of me with that one.
it got me too
To be honest that's no completely accurate. He also used his kicks to set up his new found skill. He had people messed up waiting on the 3 strikes and kick pattern with the kick and three strike pattern. The worst was when you backed away giving him room to get maximum velocity on the leg kick. I was taken to emergency two times just watching him do that..
Lung Dart Addict: "I'm having trouble kicking the habit."
Hoost: "I can help with that."
Lung dart lmao
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
The way Ernesto checks leg kicks makes me want to go back and relearn everything I know about leg kicks to the calf
A fighter that can TKO you with a leg check alone is definitely a legend at best.
At least*
and the scariest thing ever. If he kicks someone like us we loose our leg man
Mostly lucky.
Check Mr lowkick Rob Kaman
@@nathanalexandre9043 🤦♂️
Can we just turn this into a series on Ernesto, he's got every lesson you could learn as a kickboxer. That or a Giorgio Petrosyan series.
Bump.
Ernesto Hoost is a bloody legend, I used to watch him on K1 and every match is a spectical to watch always. The world should know about his greatness. Respect
Legend!!!!
Hes my uncle!!!

@@AvontuurZoekersTV legend
Shook Ernesto's hand at Peter Aerts his wedding when I was a little kid. Such a gentle giant. Awesome guy
This is most comprehensive breakdown of a fighter's style and techniques that I've ever seen! Sir, thank you very much ❤️
He’s like a 99 overall
Fact
he's literally Mr Perfect and you give him a 99?
@@bce6936 99/99
@@bce6936 dude lost to bob sapp twice.
@@nickleback3695 bob sapp is mr more than perfect
I remember watching Hoost in K1 he was almost invincible at one point. They didn’t call him Mr Perfect for nothing
@Smarty Pants Schilt is the greatest HW ever, Hoost is top 3. Even despite those 2 losses to Sapp, Hoost is top 5 all time at MW and top 3 all time at HW.
@@m.o.5291 every fighter has his peak. I watched all the K1 fights in that era. Aerts and Hoost were the biggest pioneers in the field, being the first to apply the kickbox strategy and optimizing themselves towards other types of fighters. Bonjasky, Schilt and most of the others are 'just' 2nd gen successors.
Also: after his 4th K1 win, Hoost had some physical issues and had to cope with the loss of his brother during some crucial k1 tournaments. He had quite a losing streak in that year.
Resuming: having seen all the big fighters fight in their prime, I'm considering Hoost to be the GOAT
@@ericvandruten I don't know why Badr Hari isn't in this discussion for best kickboxer ever...
@@911shan that's easy: he has always been a 'natural' but quite unable to keep his head cool. See his disqualifications, among others.
still lost to bob sapp though AHAHAHAH
Great video. This just made Ernesto Hoost one of my favorite fighters of all time. Stopping a fight with a leg kick is incredible. Stopping a fight by checking a leg kick... that is truly amazing.
2:30... My leg hurt FOR that guy. You know that shit hurt.
Lmao 😂
Hahahahahaha
Also what he did to Sefo. Even worse with the slomo replay. I was telling everyone about that...but couldn't give it justice.
he kicc
he kicc
but most importantly he kicc
Every kick is a leg kick
Fun fact His favorite move is the Kick.
if he kicks, he kicks
@@bboyhanvzla he kicked before he was born
Aaand he kinda thicc
Ernesto was the goat. His one two, body punch then leg kick was legendary. Can you do a video of Remy Bonjasky
@@Handle35667 in that time there was so much competition that it was impossible to win of everybody like Rico Verhoeven is doing now. Nobody won everything. Semmy Schilt lost matches, Remy lost matches, Badr Hari lost matches. The competition was huge.
@@onnovkerkhof exactly 💯! But Technically Hoost was imo the best heavyweight Kickboxer ever! Classic dutch kickboxing 1 punch high, 1 punch on the body finish it with a powerfull lowkick! 💯🔥
@@Handle35667 Imagine getting your goat status revoked because Sapp succeeded in his bum rushing for once.
That's not how this discussion works mate.
@@jesperburns Once? He lost to Sapp twice. Lol.
Imagine being consider goat while losing twice to amateur, that only advantage he had over you was weight and strength lmao
Watching him on TV growing up... WOW he had us all trying to do low kicks. Starting at kick boxing as kids. Hurt like hell!
Ernesto was one of my favorites when I was active..a True source of inspiration and we had a similar physic and same weight class but still he is so much more powerful,when you said he wasn't the strongest or most powerful i was like what, because he was Extra Strong and super powerful in he's weight class.ernesto did several figths in Extra heavyweight and open weight against people much larger than himself and most of the time won those figths he's absolutely underated...when friends asked about my idols and I said hoost they were like what about this guy and that guy..hoost kaman bonjasky payakaroon petch all living legends and superhumans
And Dekkers!! Your comment my friend I LOVE IT thank you for the story
Rob Kaman kicked his ass twice.
Yes and even aerts and hug were legends to .... RIP andy hug
Watching Hoost move and flow with combinations always astounded me when I got into kickboxing. He simply is Mr. Perfect.
Mr. Perfectly losing twice to amateur.
Yeah we don't look at that tho lol
Ernesto not only was a superb tactician with a very technically sound low kick, but he had freakish power. In 2002 he broke the arm of Jerome Le Banner with a body kick that was blocked by JLBs arms. And Jerome was NOT a small guy or a bad fighter by any means. He was truly fitting of the name "Mr. Perfect".
mm.. i thought it was a bad block..
But his arm was already broke and may not have fully healed for that fight. Not taking away from his nasty kicks just pointing it out
That happens all the time if you block like Le Banner did there...
Ernesto Hoost lives in my town and I met him a couple of times. Really nice and humble guy.
Dont test him, he’ll kick the shit outta u
You from Hoorn aswell? Met him a few times aswell haha
Ik heb hem ontmoet op schiphol, erg coole gast. Aerts paar dagen later, ook cool.
@@blackstarboy04 come on dude, who the F is going to test him? Most people are probably to starstruck by the goat to do anything but gush in his presence.
This channel helps me a lot using these techniques improving myself even more. Kudos to you! 👍🏼
I can imagine this guy , makes a meal just with kicks, throws the trash just withkicks, and makes his bed just with kicks
Definitely trims his fingernails with kicks
Roadhouse
"Honey can you get me that box over there ?"
flying kick with KO potential to the temple of the box.
"Thanks"
He's doing it for kicks!
😂🤣😂 he makes his bed with kicks mate I'm rolling on the floor with that comment . Me and my boys used to play tekken if u didn't attack the 3 parts of the body e.g. head, body and legs u wud lose basic principles of fighting which this guy did with perfection
Trainer:how much do you want to practice ur kicks.
Hoost :yes
😂😂😂
HAHAHAA
lmfaooo
Echt grappig!!! Very funny. Tres amusant.!!!!
Thank u so much for getting some Ernesto Hoost up on here for the younger generation to see.🙏 I've been asking different youtubers for this for a hot min now and you delivered.👌
"... ensuring that, no matter HOOST ood in front of him..."
😂😂😂
I remember watching Hoost in K1 he was almost invincible at one point. They didn’t call him Mr Perfect for nothing. He could knock guys out with the hands too, but his high and low kicks were destructive.
Branko Cikatic
@@luka2113 Mike Bernardo... whats your point 😂
And we all laughed at Goldie when he said leg kick to the midsection...
I’m from Japan and I was teenager at his prime. He was called “Mr. Perfect”
nor only by being strong.Look at his
kicks, punches, combinations.
All his movement is so sophisticated
and it’s so much smooth & solid it can be on textbook. Thats why we called him “perfect” He was called by that name long before he start to dominate as a champion level.
I like him but not a crazy fan of him,
because of the perfection. My favorite fighter is more rough
pumped up soulful kind of guys.
And I’m not sure about this and no bad feeling about him but I think he
start using steroids at the point he suddenly got bigger and powerful.
He was skinny,tall & less power but accurate kind of fighter in his first era.
Then suddenly his body got bigger(thicker) . After that ,the weakness was gone and then start
to be a champion class contender
You know , the whole body turns big in a little weird way and think when you do PEDs right? ....Like Barry Bonds,
has changed since his younger days.
@@user-oq5yr1kp1d Yes a lot of fighters were using Steroids the organisers knew and permitted it. Which is a shame. Other than Hoost my favourites were Bonjasky, Ignashov, Kooklai and Musashi.
You are right too, Hoost had great technique almost exactly like the textbook which was why I liked him. Similar to the reason why James Toney in my avatar is my favourite boxer as you watch him almost everything he did was straight from the textbook, I find it very satisfying to watch.
7:08 “but Hoosts was far from a one kick pony *UAARGH*”
Haha i didn't catch that the first time around
Lmao
LOL did not hear that
I remember watching Hoost's fights, several fights, many years ago. That was inspiring!
Other great fighters I enjoyed watching: Remmy Bonjasky, Francisco Filho, Andy Hug, Peter Aerts and Jerôme Le Banner!
Oss!
Man, that was the golden era.
@@cantankerouspatriarch4981 Definitely was! We had EuroSport TV in Germany which broadcasted that. Best times
I hadn't seen most of this footage. Amazing! Give thanks! He truly was a legendary warrior!
And for a fighter breakdown recommendation I checked your videos and I haven't yet seen one of the Thai fighter Dieselnoi Chor Thanasukarn, a fighter so destructive that he literally had to retire because there was no one else to fight.
The idea came to me because you mentioned Ernesto Hoost's low kicks in the clinch which was a tactic I remember Dieselnoi used, being the monster clincher that he was.
In the near future, I would absolutely love to see your breakdown of all the various tactics and techniques that made Dieselnoi such a frightening and formidable fighter of his era. Awesome content mate, keep it up.
Dude fought midgets so ain't nothing to break down other than how every opponent is a few heads shorter and can't deal with the overwhelming reach disadvantage nothing special just a fighter who refused to fill out his frame and chose to fight guys way smaller
I just bought your books and you mention Wonderboy many times when giving examples about real-life uses of techniques. I think a lot of people would like a breakdown on him, especially the way he enters and exits exchanges to stay safe while still being offensive and how he uses his lead leg to maintain distance.
was nice to see this. i had heard Hoost mentioned in UFC but never actually seen video of him. thank you good sir
Used to watch a lot of K-1. So impressive how his leg kicks would just leave the opponent barely able to stand by the 3rd round. He had consistent perfect technique. Beautiful to watch.
Id love to see Carlos "escopeta" Monzón, the man was very impressive, 100 fights, 87 wins, 59 by KO, 3 losses, and 9 draw (1 no contest) his style was neither flawless nor flashy, but somehow managed to destroy everybody. he never looked tough, he was quiet, thin physique, he came from extreme poberty like Duran, so much he grew with a red blood cell defiency, because of the lack of foodmthis made his bones fragile, and he will often break his hands during fights.
though he might not be flashy, I think he sets an example of force of will, and controlled agression. Def worth checking him out.
outside the ring he wasn't a good person, he drank a lot and will end up serving 11 years in prision for killing his girlfriend, he died in a car accident on his way back to prision after visiting his family.
I've never seen this dude fight and this was insane, the level of focus he has. Has he ever lost a match? Those high kicks to the head were brutal.
i might be wrong but his record was like 99 wins and 20 losses
K-1 events were stacked with kickboxing legends so yeah he lost some.
He's lost plenty. Rob Kaman beat his a$$ and knocked him out twice and out low kicked him to boot. But while Hoost was named "Mr. Perfect", Rob Kaman was named "Mr Low kick".
Hoost was a phenomenal fighter and watching his fights never gets old. Man, what a warrior. Mad respect. 🥊🥋😎👊🏾🙌🏾
Seeing a video, a DVD, on Hoost when I was a kid was literally the reason I got into kickboxing / Muay Thai, and ended up fighting competitively for 12years...
Hopefully this video has the same effect on someone!
Can you pleaaaase finish off the four kings saga? Those videos are genuinely some of the best on the Internet.
Working on the last one right now! May be a few videos before that, but it's coming soon. Then on to a new 90s arc.
Who else felt those charlie horses and shin kicks? *starts phantom limping*
Loved this vid-and found a new fighter to look at old fights- thanks!
That's a really great mashup Bro! Keepem coming!
Have you ever considered doing a video on sumo wrestling? They have extremely well developed techniques for maintaining and disrupting balance. There are lots of pushing and pulling techniques, plus non-belt-grabbing throws that are more practical than their judo counterparts due to more legal leverage targets (legs, ankles, etc.).
judo is the best.
Judo for life
Sumo is amazing they are complete martial art
I copied this style of checking when I was active. I checked a leg kick from my coach this way and it bruised the back of his calf. That's how much kinetic energy that technique was able to send back into his leg.
Awesome breakdown and analysis… your technique is next level.
WOW - What a legend! This guy will be remembered for centuries to come!
I have been waiting for this video for so long! Can you do one for the knockout artist Poatan Alex Pereira? Thank you!
Great video! Weird I've heard of him before. Definitely a legend, really hard to work around his style and game plan! Very practical and solid yet he also used it so many times. How did no one figure out a counter? Cool name too!
Great work as usual. I've been suggesting for a long time, and maybe this year will be the year, for a Ward vs Gatti breakdown. Particularly WvG1 Round 9.
Outstanding video thank you for the walk down memory lane, I watched him as a child in K1
Back with the heat
Could you do a Dany bill breakdown next?
I love Hoost he’s my second favorite kickboxer of all time behind The Dutch Lumberjack Peter Aerts
Bro this is so well done!
New on the channel … I began martial arts because of hoost and aerts.
Your break down are just perfect
Seeing this made me think about another unorthodox way of kicking that a man I had the chance to train with had : Jean-Charles Skarbowski and his teep with the toes. Back in his days he was one of the top ranked muai thai fighters, and probably the most important european that fought in Thailand after Ramon Dekkers. Sadly he missed his chance against Buakaw, but still. He seems more than worthy of a video to me.
Well now that you mention it, I'd love to hear your breakdown of Francis Ngannou's punching power
Beautiful watching him fight! Definitely one of my favourite kickboxers
Those leg kicks look savage!! Great work as always. Happy New year.
Hrm, while we're on the kickboxing research train, how do you feel about doing an Israel "The Last Stylebender" Adesanya breakdown during his kickboxing days?
To see you breakdown Samkor Kiatmontep The Left Kick Legend would be cool :)
Gunna start working on this technique. Love the commentary.
The edition I forgot I was waiting for! Hoost was a very early inspiration for my kicking.
I think you pronounce Hoost’s name like “host”
Dutch guy here, can confirm it's pronounced like host (as in hosting a party). The double oo in Holland is a long o sound, like hope or host. If his name would be pronounced like the narrator in the video does, it would be spelled Hoest in Holland.
@@DYNB The way the announcer pronounces his name means "to cough" in Dutch
That moment when Hoost hoest
Klopt
Ik snap niet hoe iemand een heel filmpje over iemand maakt en dan geen idee heeft hoe de naam uit te spreken...
You can clearly tell that Hoost used to or still practices soccer. The way he engages the kicks, is very similar to that of a penalty kick. Whether he does this consciously or or subconsciously is the key to his genius.
Excellent analysis, thanks
Wow! What a professional content! Hoost is my childhood hero forever but the way you analizing he's technique is perfect! Well done! Smashed the subscribe button!
Hoost is one of the few I've ever considered genuinely scary. Was there even a way to beat him without going toe to toe?
As for fighter breakdowns, Yi Long's peculiar style, especially his defence through damage mitigation while trying to keep in position to throw power shots, is worth a look. Not his Iron Head shenanigans, but the way he actually defended when push came to shove. I still consider his first fight against Buakaw a masterclass in damage mitigation, even if it ultimately gave Buakaw easy points and cost him the decision (that and the fact he thought he could ko Buakaw of all people in 3 rounds, so he never bothered to go for points...).
I've actively discouraged people who'll fight competitively from developing styles with that kind of defence, as it protects your body, but doesn't prevent the opponent from scoring. However, otherwise it's pretty solid.
Nice! I've trained Hoost. Was a great seminar.
Are you serious? What’s your story?
How was it meeting him person
@@BuildingCenter yeah trained with him at a friend's gym in Liverpool a few years back. It was K1 Fundamentals training. Solid stuff.
@@LauGarSifu Right on. You should consider adding training stories to your channel. Maybe get a student to interview you, after your time in the industry. Cheers, mate.
@@jashardwallington great. He was very nice guy and taught with clarity and passion.
Not only can he give a good leg kick, he can really take them. He was demonstrating with one of the fighters at the gym and had the lad kicking his leg. He was like "kick me harder...harder....go on harder....oh, i almost felt that one! Harder" 😅
Excellent breakdown
That body shot to kick combo was beautiful
The guy is a legend !!!
