You need to watch a bit more knockdown karate - while knockdown tactics have gone downhill in the modern age - there is a lot going on technically & subtly that goes over many people because they can't see it.
Like being able to notice why Ryu Narushima can head kick people so quickly, with so much power while being so close better than anybody else - technical stuff like this translates over the board. Another one that translates is why Hajime Kazumi can take out someone's base (legs) while avoiding significant punishment from kicks/punches.
Many Dutch kickboxing combinations were originally combinations that were found in knockdown karate - some were adapted, some like the left hook to the body & low kick are exact copies of their knockdown originals - with the added jab to the face.
But Dutch kickboxing & Kyokushin Karate deviated a long time ago and they have their own unique subset of combos & among other things.
