I love how he constantly keeps your hands & head busy/distracted/clogged up/fouled up with his hands, while simultaneously kicking your lower body with his feet, rather than just throwing kicks at you alone. I didn't expect that. Masterful strategy! 🙏🙇‍♂️

This reminds me of a question I had a long time ago when I started doing Shotokan Karate. Why is our sparring footwork COMPLETELY different from our Kata footwork? I never could get a satisfactory answer from Shotokan, particularly JKA Shotokan. But now, 20 years later after doing more and more research into Karate’s origins as well as videos by folks like you, Jesse, Iain Abernathy, etc. I’ve realized modern Karate’s sparring footwork ISN’T Karate footwork. It’s Savate footwork. And while modern point based Karate sparring has a lot of issues and things that aren’t practical, the biggest advantage it does have is distance management. And that’s all thanks to the younger Funakoshi’s adoption/adaptation of Savate into modern Karate.

@Lieutenant-Dan Ай бұрын

Well it's like everything you do in Kata. You don't block like that in sparring either. Kata is a way of training techniques, stances, movement patterns etc. You don't use a lot of Kata techniques in actual fighting/sparring the way they are done in the Kata. I did Kyokushin for many years and always understood this.

@Pifagorass Ай бұрын

Another reason kicks in katas are usually takedowns, trip overs, and breaks and not pure strikes. Breaking joints or standup grappling was removed by Japanese to be simpler and not to compete with JJJ and Judo

"Anyone who hasn't tried shoes, doesn't really understand what the impact is." God damn right. I remember my 1st savate lessons. Each kick I was eating I was like "wtf am I getting into?" 😂 Even when they land on the arms it hurts. Sometimes my forearms were entirely blue for 3 days after hard sparring... Edit: typo

@johnelliott9823 28 күн бұрын

What is the longest weapon? What is the nearest target? Which way is the other guy moving? This is high level stuff imo. You could use the same strategy with some adaptations outside of Savate. Thanks for this!

@craiglacour8887 Ай бұрын

This where Bruce lee got his kicking style from. If you notice Bruce did not kick like most people.

@alexanderren1097 Ай бұрын

Yup. He also had a birth defect. His left leg was shorter than his right. That’s part of the reason his stance looks the way it does. Today, when people try to replicate it, they’re usually trying to be in a back stance (more weight on their back leg) but they have such a hard time mimicking Bruce Lee’s speed. That’s because he wasn’t actually in a back stance. His weight was 50/50, it just LOOKED like a back stance because his right leg was longer. Also the reason his default fighting stance was “south paw”. He could kick his opponent with his right from further away than his left

@rickeymckissick2065 Ай бұрын

That’s very true, but he made modification on his kicking cell and footwork. He also makes it in to kung fu taekwondo karate and kind of blended together, but his foundation was savate He changed the way he kicks to be able to hit you faster, but still have power behind it from different range and angles. But the snapping action is from savate because they got a quicker snap compared to your other styles of Martial arts. it in on top of it would he mix it with your other styles of martial arts to blend in the style of that kick it changed the rhythm of the fight so he’s unpredictable and he’ll catch you when you’re not adapting to the movement.

@matteodussi7337 26 күн бұрын

the last point is crucial: committing less when kicking, in order to mantain balance and control. When you punch you don't swing all the way through all the time, the same can be done with kicks. In Savate you really boxe with your feet.

@chenzenzo Ай бұрын

Distance. Check Dutch fighters because it's the same thing. The best Dutch fighters spent time in Thailand. To come off line with attack and swing towards in the attack is somethin you learn as you go. Rest easy Andy Hug and Ramon Dekkers. Great masters. ❤

IMO Kickboxer Bill Wallace would’ve made a great Savateur. He used his lead leg like a skilled surgeon. Savate has a precision and timed placement that makes it more dangerous than it appears. Nice video thanks for sharing.

Wasn’t Wallace’s foundation style Karate? If so then he WAS doing Savate because that’s where Karate got its high kicks and sparring footwork from ;)

It doesn't hurt that he has a huge reach advantage over you. The techniques in your videos are always interesting, but most of your teachers/opponents have a size advantage over you. Most of us will eventually have to deal with this, but you seem to be a relatively small guy that would have to deal with a reach disadvantage often. Do you have any videos on how to fight a larger opponent, or do you plan to do any?

@aragnockhod7274 Ай бұрын

@marcelbourdeau2084 Ай бұрын

Long story, but i will explain it as simply as possible. La boxe française (created around 1830) is the sport version of la savate, when English boxing was added to savate kicks. La savate (no official date known, but it is mentioned in 1797 in french writings, and surely existed decades before that) is for self defence purposes, where all is permitted. All ranges are used, from the longest to the shortest. •le bâton and la canne •kicking •punching •knees and elbows •grappling (la lutte parisienne) •all the “dirty savvy” stuff. La savate was first, than came boxe française. (Similar how jiu jitsu became judo. Same idea) Outside of France, and over time, the word “savate” became better known than “boxe française”, so the French federation adopted it to help make it (the sport) known better, and probably easier to pronounce for non french speakers too. But today when you see savate competitions, you are actually seeing boxe française. Either “assaut” (light contact) or “combat” (full contact) competition. So in reality you cannot compete in savate. Peace

I call this style/idea "Rat Kung Fu" Because rats are extremely good at kicking off of cats while retreating in the animal kingdom, seen videos of them jump up and bounce 3 feet off a cat. Moving forward and kicking reminds me of Kangaroo. And staying still and kicking remind me of horsekicks and ostrich stomps.
