AMSTERDAM, June 22, 2007 -- The Netherlands established relations with Japan in 1609 and for some 250 years the Dutch remained the only Westerners welcome in the isolationist archipelago of shogun and samurai. In the 21st century Japan and the Netherlands once again stand together, at the forefront of the world's premier fightsport. Fourteen fighters have won the K-1 World Grand Prix Tokyo Dome Final, and no less than eleven times the laurels have been placed on the head of a Dutchman.
