French Kickboxing?Try Savate! |
|||||||||||||||||
Savate is a native French kicking style. It was developed in the last century, and its origins and relationships, if any, to other Martial Arts are unclear. There are stories about French sailors picking up techniques in Eastern ports, bringing them home and integrating them with local foot fighting and fencing techniques. It primarily encompasses kicking techniques somewhat similar to Tae Kwon Do or Karate. It includes punching techniques from Western Boxing and stick fighting techniques based on French rapier fighting. It is very stylized and more extended than most Eastern kicking arts.
