Good stuff.

(The guy in the blue shorts have/does great footwork)

[Jandro1083]

@TheLoxUK yep, Savate kicks are like an in between TKD and MT.

[Ungenericteen]

@Jandro1083 Savate kicks have much more accuracy than TKD kicks, I can hit my taller friends on the nose and my brother a red-belt in TKD has trouble hitting my liver.

[RDraGon2179]

@Ungenericteen Just sounds like your red belt brother needs more practice hitting his target. No matter what style you must practice your accuracy.

[Jandro1083]

@TheLoxUK I know, reason why it is shoe based. Barefoot a powerful kick will shatter the bones on your foot. I practice Muay Thai and that's like the 1st thing my teacher told me when kicking. We must lightly kick a certain way the end of the heavy bag as a warm up of sorts in case we accidentally miss with our shin slightly and hit it with the bare feet. It will cause a major injury.

[Jandro1083]

@TheLoxUK It's a finisher cause they use special and tipped shoes, did you know that? Kick like that without those shoes and say goodbye to your feet bones.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!

[jontti66]

Magnifique practice.. Tre bien!!

@SmilingPhallus An art cannot defeat a person, only another person can.

[homomo10]

there merely different interpretations of the same purpose.

[homomo10]

im tired of people saying asian martial arts are obselete; dont judge an entire fighting system on one technique, like eyegouging. If you simply study martial arts and stop dividing it into thousands of categories or styles, you'd see that every martial art has a similar if not the same purpose. In essence a martial art's purpose is to open up the opposition's defense giving you an oppurtunity to strike. In that sense there is no point in arguing which style is better than the other.

[Evan2000an10]

is dis not jus thai boxing without the knees or elbows?

[jamariooo]

@Evan2000an10 NO

[ulfi66]

Sorry but looks gay, I think its more a dance.

[The7Ups]

Marcial arts are perfect (:

[Setenza4]

Nice job the light sparring was done very well a great way to learn and prepare yourself

[danmarino1970]

bruce lee's kicks = all savate. those who know the truth will agree.

[ajdaemon08]

@danmarino1970- bullsh*t. bruce lee looked at many different styles and practiced many different styles and chose the ones he liked. and i've seen kicks like these is many styles, so there nothing new.

[TheTaoofJKD]

@ajdaemon08 Not bullshit, It's common knowledge, watch an interview about Lee with Guro Insosanto He's mentioned it time and time again this is where he pulled the bulk of his kicks and footwork from. Your knowledge of Sijo Lee is obviously minimal.

[ajdaemon08]

@TheTaoofJKD- like i said, these kicks are used in many styles. so even if b. lee first practiced them from savate doesn't change the fact that there very common kicks.

and just cause you dream about being bummed by bruce doesn't mean you know sh*t about him.

[TheTaoofJKD]

@ajdaemon08 You're funny, considering I train under two of Guru Inosanto's students, have trained with Inosanto himself. And have spoken with Shannon Lee (his one surviving child). I can assure you that I know a helluva lot more about Bruce Lee than you do.

[ajdaemon08]

@TheTaoofJKD- and i could know more about hitler than you, but it doesn't change the fact that i don't know him. the same is for you.

[NinrateCommando]

@danmarino1970 not all just most. I thought some kicks came from TKD, karate, and some diff styles of kung-fu, right?

[meadowvideos]

All those guys had great technique. Fun to watch. Thanks!

[Savateur]

@SmilingPhallus I think the Danse de Rue style is a lot meaner than most of the other arts.

[Picekification]

savate was created to fight on the street. So it's effective in real life.

[kloud51]

This is so gay. Boxers and thai/kickboxers spar at about 60% to 70% power. These guys aren't even touching each other. This is why savate sucks ass in real life.

[billysue2]

this is the type of sparring youd warm up with,nothing more.Savate being a fulllcontact style works just fine in reality.

[cryingindian]

technicall sparring involves very little contact. check out anderson silvas dvd stuff. the exact same as this... although... miles better lol

[Savateur]

@kloud51 Yeah bro why don't you check out the Francois Pennachio vs Ramon Dekkers fight. I've done both Muay thai and Savate and I'll tell you savate is no joke.

[Curatalo506]

I like the way the black guy fights.

Whats his name? and does he have any pro fights?

[Savateur]

@Curatalo506 I don't think that's him but check out Richard Sylla the man is awesome

[joergus]

Wondeful!

[Eyeodine]

Thank you for not playing some lame-ass metal for this video!

[Curatalo506]

Wow, Savate is pretty cool.

How come there's no more Savate fighters in UFC or MMA anymore?

It looks pretty cool.

[williamhenkel]

GSP is trained in Savate. He uses some of it.

[RDraGon2179]

I believe GSP is train in karate. He may have done it but his bio usually don't say anything about savate.

[cryingindian]

gsp never trained in savate only kyokushin karate as he was growing up. his dad was a black belt in it so thats all he did as a youngling. no savate

[RDraGon2179]

@cryingindian Yea I knew that. Just saying it to the other web that it didn't say that in his bio.

[CMB505]

Because for some styles of martial arts, this place has some weak points that are vital

For example, a Karate specialist or a Tae Kwon Do specialist might be able to get a crotch shot in one of those kicks.

However, this is a powerhouse style as well, where the main points are attacking the head, liver, and heel, leaving severe crippling to those who aren't able to endure or control Savate.

I also am searching for a place that teaches Savate, seems like an interesting style.

[CSTATB]

Cheick Kongo

[billysue2]

kongo is way bigger than that,that lad is about middleweight.

[Jandro1083]

@Curatalo506 the last savate guy i saw in the UFC- don't remember his name- was some black French guy who talked a lot in the interview about "I'm gonna show that French men aren't cowards. People say we don't have any heart and quit early, i'm here to prove the world wrong." Then he quits on his stool after rnd1 LOL

[grahamhg]

@Curatalo506 mmas banned in france.

[Ungenericteen]

@Curatalo506 bellator light heavy weight champ is a savateur and he uses judo as well

[dragonfist25]

@Curatalo506 Manly because people aren't open minded enough to try something other than Thai boxing.

[TheTaoofJKD]

@Curatalo506 Simple there's very little knowledge of Savate in the US, meaning there are probably under a dozen schools that actually teach it. Also due to rampant elitism in the MMA world arts like Savate are often looked down upon and their 'effectiveness' doubted. An ignorant thing of course. But that's simply how people are.

[estebanglsa]

Hey, does anyone know the name of the song?

Thanks

[SallyMyers1991]

I Love this thing. I first read about it in a book called From Lee to Li. Does anyone know if savate centre somewhere in London?

[corterz1]

yes there is a light contact club in Brad Street SE1.

Google London Savate and it will come up, trains every Thurs night.

Good Luck.

[SallyMyers1991]
