Buckley's style is deeply rooted in his fascination with martial arts, heavily influenced by movies and legendary fighters. He admits that his dazzling kicks are largely self-taught, inspired by YouTube tutorials and icons like Georges St-Pierre, Raymond Daniels, Michael Jai White, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Donnie Yen. His early performances on heavy bags, mimicking techniques from these martial arts heroes, helped develop his dynamic and precise striking. Buckley highlights Raymond Daniels’ spectacular testing videos as a significant influence, motivating him to perform feats like spinning kicks with incredible power and accuracy.
