What is "savate"?
Savate is a French martial art that combines elements of boxing and kicking techniques. Practitioners use their fists, feet, and legs to strike opponents, with a focus on precise, controlled kicks, such as the front kick, side kick, and spinning kicks. The sport emphasizes agility, flexibility, and footwork, allowing athletes to move quickly and strike from different angles. Savate training involves developing both offensive and defensive techniques, with an emphasis on timing, distance, and strategy. While it is practiced for both self-defense and sport, savate also promotes physical fitness, coordination, and mental discipline.
