Most people forget that those "barefoot" arts were developed by cultures that wear shoes; in other words they were developed with the intention that they wouldn't be used in self-defense barefoot; being barefoot is for safety and physical development especially before specialized safety and foot training exercises & equipment was developed.

The amount of good quality English Savate content in youtube is too low, so yes keep them coming! Savate is basically fencing with your feet. Instead of using them like baseball bats, you use them as rapiers. Is it more effective that way? Depends on the situation, but you can definitely do some fancy stuff that will take your opponent by surprise. Do a video of all the turning kicks and jumps etc. that really put the fun in to this style! I know you got the skill to pull those off perfectly. :)

Hi Kevin. Just coming back to ths video as youtube showed me it again. You do the Savate techniques very well. Two things I'd like you to try to elevate your Savate game. 1. In between the fouetté and chassé (for example, 5:02) arm more distinctly in between the two kicks. As a judge I can only score kicks that are armed properly. You do it well at 8:25, for example. 2 I know you aren't wearing shoes for the demo and you take pains to mention that more than once, but when you deliver chassé, see if you can make the sole of the shoe perpendicular to the shin (flat to the target) rather than rotated downwards, as you would in barefoot. Just a bit of polish for you there! Thanks for bringing attention to the style! James

​@jormungand1224 for me, it's the limits of other things you can do, for instance, the crescent kick can only be thrown in to out, other way round is illegal. Distance has to be constantly maintained so being to close will get you separated quickly, and of course no spinning back fist/checks or sweeps allowed. If you make contact with the shin and not the boot then you'll be pulled up. Kick trajectory has to be clean at all times Basically if your shorter then your opponent then the rules really won't favour you 😒 I think it's brilliant to add to your arsenal and can open so much more, but the sport is a bit broken 😅 I love it and hate it.

He demonstrate the "technical" part of savate. We have 2 type of competition : "assault" and "fight". He demonstrate assault where power is totally forbidden, its technical match. In fight where power and KO are allowed u are right the secondary kicks doesnt have power, so there is 2 possibility : the sidekick with the heel like u said and the kicks with the tip of the feet, especially in the liver. For that type of kick u dont necessarily need power to hurt, or at least cut off the breath.

I was doing the foutte to chasse regularly even though I never learned Savate because my opponent likes to evade.
