He was known for his powerful low kicks, which is now a staple of Dutch kickboxing. Biography and careerRoyers began practicing karate at the age of 16. He went on to become the Dutch national champion on nine occasions and also won medals at the Karate World Championships in 1979, 1980, 1982 and 1984 as well as the World Games 1981. He also competed in amateur boxing. In 1978, Royers joined the Mejiro Gym and took up kickboxing.
