Semmy Schilt, a towering figure in the world of kickboxing, stands at an imposing 6 feet 11 inches (211 cm) and weighs around 290 pounds (132 kg). Known for his extraordinary reach and formidable presence in the ring.
With a background in Kyokushin karate, entering the ring wearing the traditional Gi, Schilt's striking skills aren’t to be underestimated. He was both precise and powerful, often overwhelming his opponents with a combination of height, reach, and technique, with his best techniques' being the jab and mae geri keage (snap front kick). His nickname, "Hightower," aptly reflects his dominating presence. Schilt's approach in the ring is characterized by being the classic tall man fighter, leveraging his long limbs to keep adversaries at bay while delivering his heavy kicks, punches, and knees.
Schilt achieved remarkable success in the K-1 World Grand Prix, winning the prestigious tournament four times (2005, 2006, 2007, and 2009), and remains the only fighter to have secured three consecutive Grand Prix titles. His physical attributes made him a formidable champion and a revered figure in kickboxing, and he pretty much dominated the Heavyweight kickboxing scene for several years.
