For those who are interested to learn Savate online from Professor Nicolas, please check out savate.teachable.com/

watching jesse bring someone to their knees with just his legs whilst casually talking is nuts

“Touching without being touched” as a fundamental principle especially makes a lot of sense as savate evolved out of sword dueling, as you can’t exactly afford to trade blows with a sword for too long

It is the coolest thing in the world to me that all my favorite martial arts youtubers I've followed separately for years are now in a Superfriends League and collaborating with each other and furthering the cultivation of martial arts together every week. MORE TEAM-UPS, PLEASE!!!

A fantastic crossover. You're the man, Kevin.

0:40 - Jesse's side kick 2:25 - Nicolas's side kick 4:15 - Sparring 5:05 - Seth's side kick 8:15 - Savate concepts

I love the level of detail from each instructor gives in this.

Glad to see how similar savate and karate; plus Jesse’s cameo here is always a great opportunity to get more info

That Jesse guy, even when he's under the weather, his movement is still sharp.

According to a Jesse's video, okinawan karate high kicks were strongly influenced by french sailors arriving to the Island in early 1900's when they demonstrated Savate to natives martial artists

Thank you for another great video. Having other experts from different styles as your guests deepens our understanding of martial arts.

This is awesome! I love these collabs comparing different points of view on similar techniques.

Sheesh! Kev is becoming the ultimate martial arts warrior learning from Jesse, Seth, and Prof. Nic, and learnin how to use it in "da streetz" with Icy Mike!

Love these videos with guests, Jessie is so crazy to watch!

Bill "Superfoot" Wallace talked about using the sidekick to control distance and to make the targeting decision based on how the opponent reacts when you life the knee. (Hope I'm paraphrasing that right.) Jesse did a great interview with him. Jesse's bounce counter sidekick sort of reminds me of the way some people use the oblique kick in Wing Chun to intercept and break the posture at the knee.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing this Kevin. I also watched Sensei Seth's "I Tried Savate (french shoe fighting)" just some minutes before. And I do remember the vid from Jesse Enkamp about the influence of Savate in Karate. You guys rock! for sure this includes Professor Nicolas Saignac! Thank you for these insights!

Sensei Seth's "about the same, right?" Got me in shambles. What a goof.

Such a great video, well put together, great concepts and all around interesting content. Thank you Kevin for this fantastic piece of work 👊🏼

Wow nice video. It’s a shame arts like Savate and Sanda don’t get that much love? I always admire them. Jesse’s low chamber kicks are fluid and strong👍🏾. Very similar to TWC chamber kicks, up rooting or breaking the foundation with chamber kicking is very effective when performed properly. Details in some of the Wooden dummy sets.

Such a good dive into savate and it's features. Definitely thought provoking.

It would be cool to learn savate. The instructor seems like a cool dude ☺️.

Oh man. What a treat. I never miss an opportunity to train with Prof Nicolas.

Seth threw a Turning Back Kick there. Heel up, toes down..

you should do videos about kyokushin tricky kicks brazilian kick interrogation point kick, andy hug kakato and tornado kick and mawashi kaiten do gueri but great video

Savate kicks with the foot, if kicking the head it’s ok, but if you are kicking the leg or body, it is stronger to flex the foot and aim with the shin.

Listening to him was a lot like hearing Bruce Lee to me. Waiting for part 2 already.

Great video Kevin 🙂. After watching yours and Seth's videos I definitely want to take a Savate class in person. Also thanks for the link I'll check it Professor Nicolas ☺️

Glad to see you are all fans of the best Rugby team in the world, the All Blacks 🇳🇿

Seth's side kick = a back kick 😂

Awesome!

LOL I totally thought it was part of the class for everyone to wear all black until Seth said that! LOL

Would be nice you showing more Wing chun kicks, kevin. Amazing content as always

You WARRIOR'S are bringing all the arts back into "ONE ART". The same kicks Jessie Sensei was doing, are also done in Wing Chun. They are called Chi Gerk(Leg Sensitivity), similar to chi sau(Arm/Hand Sensitivity).

14 seconds in and sensie seth already said hi mom and then wiped his nose and put the booger on his shorts! Love it! Haha Honestly though great video kevin. Love the content!

It was Cool seeing you in the upstate the other day bro

Great video. Holy shit...so much knowledge here.

Great vid

Hey Kevin, out of curiosity, what glove color/level of Savate are you?

Hold up--is Kevin Taiwanese-American? I thought he was from HK for some reason!! Man, there are not many of us out there. I can't believe there is another Taiwanese-American youtuber! Kevin is the second that I know of, the other guy has a tech/history channel.

The difference between European kickboxing art and karate is the purpose of their application. The initial savate was a brutal boxing incl kicking technique, wich is an art of fencing without a weapon. The purpose of karate was self defense, avoiding a long contact with an opponent (ikken hissatsu - 1 blow, 1 kill). After karate was implemented in Japan, there was a lack of this long contact, which was not spectacular for the audience. And we have today an art of fencing where karate techniques are being used. These techniques have a light contact with the ground and use a long distance for initial fighting (the old ones used a full contact with the ground and a close combat range). So the pure karate is different from so called sports karate. And people should understand the real purpose of each martial art and not blame its techniques, what “will work on the street and what won’t”, because street fights are exaggerated in ppl minds (I can say it as a street fighter in the 90’s, based on traditional Shotokan karate and boxing) and there will work that technique, wich you can perfectly do. Yeah, and you should strike first, when you only feel, that the opponent wants to attack you.

I like that you're all friends :)

Jesse can be pretty intimidating wow

Savate has really good moves for managing space plus the cane fighting

Cheers Kevin. ☘️

Around 1:30 I know thats why Im so excited to see him as a contender for USDC as well as Ranton

As a JKdmD guy, the sport karate side kick is most like a JKD one. I like the karate one and the savate in. I admit Ive done Some little Savate training over the years especially with the chase. But I do think Inprefer it iver the Karate because uts more fluid. The Karate one is a great self defense tool though. Really like it

Karate kicks come from Northen white crane, not Savate. Similar kicks but, not from each other. Same thing how Capoeria has some similar kicks, but isn't from either.

8:28 I said in Seth's video I say here, maybe is something similar/enfluenced by Fencing (or sword fencing in general) I see the same in Karate the "parry and hit" if random articles on the Internet are true (we know internet don't lie /s) if Karate was used agaisnt some weapon wield person of deflect and hit would make sense, creating this weird connection and explaining similar technics since we are limited by biomechanics, if we have similar point you end with similar results. We can add the fact of cultural influence other them sword figthing and fencing is the cloathing, Europens would have a more ruged footware from old styles of pointer shoes and toe reinforced working boots and Japan (you can call me a stupid xeno swine if I am wrong) for some period the footware was more limited to simpler and even barefooted so focusing more in the sole of foot and "hard" parts of it and not in the "shoe" as a weapon

"Using your enemies weight to add to your kick" I call this "antlering" use your limb like a high speed antler to meet the charge. Or using your elbows like "bull horns" and add your body hop momentum or enemies momentum to your bulls horn elbow.

I like to see professor Nicolas Saignac ⚜

Karete Jesse chopping legs down like trees.

Sweet! Is it too much to ask for y'all to spar, savate style, to the Indiana Jones theme song?

i love savate yo !!!

Damn those low kicks would be amazing to see in a mma fight. Especially the back one

Jess voice sounds so much deeper😅 without his Mic

IcyMike’s watching this like “you made a whole video on something that doesn’t work.”

So how you feel about karate

Nic has such great knowledge. I don't think that Kevin or Seth understood (at least in this video) how much Nic has to offer. They are not anywhere near his level of expertise. This was the yellow belt version of what he has to offer. Or in Savate, the Blue Glove ranking. It is a beginner level. Niolas Saignac is an expert and a full contact champion in Savate. He is extremely skilled in Savate and kickboxing. Please look him up and train with him at any opportunity.

waiting till kevin sees this comment... ( good collab bro❤❤)

with how much jesse talks historical technique and high concept martial arts, it's easy to forget that he's the real deal, when he applies it so smoothly it's always a bit shocking

The first movements is very wing chun

Savate seems to be to Kicking what Boxing is to Punching. I would love to see it against Muay Thai,it can neutralize their kicking technique.

A shame not to see Jesse fight in One Championship in both Muay Thai and kickboxing rules! Miss the old days of K-1 Grand Prix.

Shoes off the mat kevin shoes are not allowed on the mat

Gi flapping sound ASMR

Jesse is has Crispy technique

🇹🇼 🇺🇸

I think Savate is them peoples that use their foot like a fist? :p

Noto che sono venuti fuori dei concetti che sono alla base delle strategie del Jeet Kune Do

Is he French?

Ancestralement le karaté n'avait pas coup de pied, ils se sont inspiré de la savate justement

Karate originally means Chinese hands the meaning has changed for obvious reasons, Karate Father It's Shaolin Kung Fu so Karate kicks come from Shaolin not Savate.

too bad Jesse didn't come with you. that would have been something

Thank you for your excellent content. It seems that 3 types of side kicks exist. Another version is the one of Jeet Kun Do kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdFjpqle1sqcd5s.html

so weird hearing jesse speak out of character lol

Jesse said that with no sources at all. I love both martial arts but that a false information . Jesse want to discredit Japanese influence in many videos . In fact japanese army took the the " defense a 4coins (4 corner defence)" from savate but this system dont contain any circular movement . Actually GOJO RYU did bring mawashi before shotokan

Just a friendly reminder that Jesse Enkamp has ZERO evidence to back up "Karate took kicks from Savate" claim. High kicks in Karate most likely developed at the university karate clubs since they were really into sparring.
