Close to ideal Kick 11 (roundhouse turnkick)
One of the publications of the victorious and the most impressive Fehmi’s attack with the left roundhouse turnkick (11), technically clean and totally controlled, in the heavy weight finals of the EKF European karate Championships, Tenerife, 13-15/5, 2005. His rival, Tucek (Cze), was caught in the proper tactical moment (TM), that is, in the mid of his attack. Fehmi thus spectacularly sealed his European Golden Medal 2005.

Close to ideal Kick 8 (roundhouse kick)
Newspaper Le Matin published a short interview with the than new European World Champ 2005, illustrated with his close-to-ideally performed right roundhouse kick (8) which his opponent in the heavy weight finals, Tucek (Cze), could not block off properly.
Making the opponents fly
During an interview, Fehmi demonstrates one of his typical, frequently used felling attacks that have brought him the most of victorious points. The alternative to his own high kick is that his opponents lift their legs high as at that photo.
As to Fehmi’s successful use of felling, see a video below from the Karate Grand Prix 2004 in Zalec, Slovenia.
