Savate is such an underappreciated art, it deserves more recognition outside of France.
I wholeheartedly agree
@@metrolinamartialarts I train Savat on a regular basis in USA (Texas). Similar to Capoeira, it may look ineffective at first, but there are a handful of very useful techniques, especially if you fight wearing shoes ;)
@@strikingmachine2975 it's an awesome art!
Yeah, I really like the footwork of savate it’s no wonder Bruce Lee incorporated it into his fighting style.
It deserves more recognition in France too! trust me!
Savate is the antithesis to Muay Thai. Elegant and evasive, sophisticated footwork. It´s a shame that there aren´t enough schools here in Germany.
There needs to be more
@@metrolinamartialarts Definitely!
@@metrolinamartialartsUnlike Germany. There are a lot of savate clubs in Russia!)
Same happens here in Spain unfortunately we don't have any savate clubs
@@savate.moscow🇷🇺🇷🇸❤️
Fantastic video. Nicolas Saignac is one of the most untouchable people in sparring I have ever met and I wish Savate were more popular in the United States as it is a fantastic striking art.
I agree completely! Nic is an amazing human
At the beginning of the 20th century, Savate included some takedowns inspired by the american wretsling (alas, we still don't have the beautifull college wrestling here in France, we do Judo) as opportunity moves for self defense. These techniques were excluded from sporting practice, because the combat doctrine from fencing placed more emphasis on controlling distances and accurate strikes.
Thanks for the video and the positive comments about a cultural legacy.
Savate is so underrated. Thanks for this video.
It truly is! Thanks for watching!
Coach Nicolas!
He's awesome, ain't he?!
I love Savate. I used to go to a place that taught Savate & Fencing.
That's awesome!
As a Frenchman I'm almost ashamed to not have trained more Savate ^^
Oh shame indeed!
@@metrolinamartialarts I trained a lot of "canne de combat" though !
And if you don't know you should try !
I'm french too and I was practicing martial arts my whole life and I lately discover that savate was the kung fu I was seeking for!
Are you as angry as people say you folk are?
@@Jenjak woah you trained canne de combat!! Many people seem to mix that one up with Bartitsu haha
I seen a French guy at a Muy Thai fight doing Savate in the late 80's and he looked like he could be the same guy, he kicked the Muy Thai guys ass, checking his kicks and striking in flowing combinations, really cool fighting style.
Nicolas is awesome
Don't be mesmerized by the sexy accent, people. Sidekicks don't work!
Too late - mesmerized
I'll never understand why foreigners find our accent sexy XD
@@Jenjak it's the r's
You were needed here IcyMike.
That wasn't just a side kick: that was a Chasse Lateral. And when it lands on an opponent, they will even speak French back to you, as in, "Oh la la!"
The prominent Martial arts author Don F Draiger wrote a article about a Savate artist he interviewed he said this man had kicks like he’s never seen before and could fight with his feet better than most boxers could with their hands.He said the speed of his kicks were lightning fast and he couldn’t stop any of them.
As I've gained more experience I've modified a lot of the ways I throw kicks from the exact same way I was trained. I would practice in a pool of water getting a feel for how to move my legs or arms the most efficiently through the water where you catch the least resistance. Those modifications made great improvements to my skills, now I see Savate and I notice how similar a lot of the kicks look. Savate looks very energy efficient.
Savate is vicious... The spandex uniforms doesn't help its popularity, but its still a very dangerous style...
It didn't stop no-gi lol
@@metrolinamartialarts tbh I root for the day wrestling will use no gi uniforms instead of those silly things... I wanna watch the Olympics without cringing at least once in my life.
Hell, they could even merge competitions...
@@makaiev they need to figure out how they want to do rules in No-Gi first. But Def agree singlets are a vestige of a different time
@@metrolinamartialarts agree... The Ruleset is fundamental to set what they band with, MMA, Olympics (here in Brasil people are wanting for bjj to become an Olympic sport like judo), or if they're gonna pull a karate combat and do their own thing...
@@makaiev exactly! I like point rulesets and I like sub-only but we gotta figure it out lol.
Good stuff! Always interesting to see Savate material.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just met the man this weekend. He’s a great teacher :).
He is, indeed! So fun too
I want to start learning this now and incorporating it into my normal gym routine so that I can eventually get proper instruction and be able to not look like a total idiot. Content is definitely appreciated
Thanks so much for watching!
If I remember correctly Ernesto hoost practiced savate
He was the world and European champion in savate at first. Before when he began to regularly win titles in Muay Thai and kickboxing.
The thing I like about savate is that it has quite a bit of kicking feints, whilst staying in a safe range.
I’ve recently started training jun fan gung fu/JKD and have been getting curious about the savate influence of the fighting style.
They are Savate-esque. A lot of similarities but a bit different delivery systems
You’re awesome, Ed!
No you're awesome!!
Im in love with Savate from 2008 and do cardio savate one time per week 😃
This is such great content! Always loved Savate and think it needs more time in the spotlight, it has its place among the greatest of arts. Good techniques and good philosophies. Also, sidekicks work, confirmed😂
I agree!! 😅 🤣
What's really fun is that if you work your lutte parisienne and panache with it you've got a very good mma launchpad if desired. Old-school savate liked its slaps/baffe partly for legal reasons, but partly bc so many savateurs also wrestled.
That's awesome
We need more schools in the US!
Excellent video on the fundamentals of "savate" and the different variations of the kicks ❗big like on the vid ☯️
Thank you so much!!
@@metrolinamartialarts no worries 🤙
Wish there were more schools in the UK, I’m too old and injured to really do it seriously but would love to give it a decent go
I love Savate 💯 percent!
I'm so glad to watch this after a long day 😄.
Nicolas seems like a cool guy.
I'm going to practice these kicks.
Thank you for sharing ☺️.
Thank you for watching 🙏
I would love to see more from you and this guy! Savate is extremely cool, and unfortunately I can't find any real breakdowns of it online. There are no gyms in my area either. It's something I've always wanted to learn more about!
Yeah there's Definitely a need for more Nicolas!
Hi, loving the content recently. As a boxing channel myself this is really interesting to watch!
Thanks much!!
I'm pretty sure Nicoli is a vampire or something. He's looked exactly the same since the day I met him
He might be
You know when you thought you invented something and then find out later that it already exists? I had that with the reverse kick.
Dang - doesn't that suck lol. I thought I was cool with my twist kick but turns out it exists everywhere
@@metrolinamartialarts When I saw that, I was like "That's called a twist kick? I was just trying to make the bag afraid of me." I thought that wind up was only exaggerated like that in TKD but I might be talking bollocks.
Wait, for real? Maybe it's because i practiced many different arts since i was little and had many martial art books, but i never had even the though of having invented something hahaha, for me it just was "hey! I figured this trick out before my partners did/before our teacher taught us"
@@jestfullgremblim8002 Some things are intuitive yeah. I had a decent punches but it took me a long time to figure out I needed to keep my hand open until the last moment ect.
@@ComicusFreemanius i mean, the hands do not need to be especifically opened. They just need to be relaxed, opening them just makes it easier
Savate inspired karate to adopt kick above waistline
Love this martial art form.
It's awesome!
This guy is giving me some serious vibes of what the Yang style tai chi I've learned might look like if trained like a combat sport focused on landing techniques instead of a form for developing coordinated structure easy transition between movements.
That's a cool analysis
What?! Nothing about the coup de pied bas kick? Appreciate the Savate/Boxe Francaise content!
Was either the Reverse or that lol
bruce lee studied savate with books and he putted a lot of savate moves in jeet kune do
That's a controversial statement but I tend to agree
@@metrolinamartialarts controversial? Isn't it a fact?
@jestfullgremblim800 some would argue it's not a fact. They would say "no Bruce created his own kicking from wing chun" or something
@@metrolinamartialarts bro lmao that's definitely not true. There's just too many wrong things with that claim.
Everyone knows that he knew about Muay Thai and Taekwondo, so if he were to create his own kicking method, i do not think that it would come only from Wing Chun. And Wing Chun Kicks are just very different to what Bruce Lee does lol
@jestfullgremblim800 I agree with everything you said. I'm just saying there are those that would argue against you. But they're stuck In 1970
I love avatar the last air bender for ur outro
Thank you!!!
@@metrolinamartialarts your welcome thanks u bro ski🤜🤛
Man, great vid dude
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Ed! Thanks,
Thank you 🙏
Awesome video thanks for sharing
0:50 - Chassé (Side kick)
6:45 - Revers(Hook kick)
9:35 - Fouetté(Roundhouse kick)
No "Coup de Pied Bas" ?
Yeah, next time!!
@@metrolinamartialarts If you are interested into old school french martials arts (Savate ; Cane/Stick fighting ; Wrestling & Self Defense) : go check out *Les Arts Martiaux Francais* & *Les Arts Martiaux Francais Traditionnels* .
Good stuff… I’m motivated to wear shoes with wooden souls just for this
Oh nice! Lol
Very cool!
Thanks for watching!!
He’s regular ninja from the 80s
That's extremely accurate 🤣
@@metrolinamartialarts Thanks bro ski
Savate kicks are sure almost unmistakeable when you compare them with many other styles.
On a side note, where did this meme about working / not working side kicks came from?
Yeah they're interesting in that way
I first heard that 'side kicks don't work' on hardtohurt with icy mike, a youtube channel I believe is also from north carolina
@@malkomalkavian he's in South Carolina. But he started the meme lol
@@metrolinamartialarts My apologies to the Carolinas :)
@@malkomalkavian it's balanced because Seth is also here lol
Sanji from One Piece is where i first learned of Savate
That tracks!
Cool !
100th Like 👍🏽 Buddy!!! 👍🏽👊🏽✊🏽👏🏽💪🏽🙏🏽
🤜💥🤛
7:20 this is really similar to tkd.
Definitely a lot of similarities
@@metrolinamartialarts watch Jesse Enkamp's video on "how karate stole its kicks" and then you'll get why they look so similar to taekwondo (which got its kicks from Shotokan)
Sorry I'm late but awesome video
All good brother! Glad you enjoyed
@@metrolinamartialarts no problem thanks for making the video
Side kicks don't work :)
That they don't lol
I have this Instinct to punish anyone who kicks the knee, or just above the knee. Anyone else?
That's fair - it's the main staple in JKD and Savate but 2 very different purposes
It's a legit target, you should learn to attack it and defend it. It's not worse than anything else.
Interessting Channel
Thank you! (I think lol)
From some reading it seems like for optimal self defense one wears a hard tread boot. Is this correct that it is weaponising the boot specifically first and foremost?
Not sure, Nicolas is using Savate shoes from France and I'm using Wrestling shoes
Savage was used by Bruce Lee and been famous.
👍
🙌
He had to charge up his ki for that kick
It's over 9000!
Lol 😂
@@metrolinamartialarts Nice!
Practice on ability not fakes and sneaks...test rather than illegal moves
What
bruce lee learned to kick from choy li fut and later from taekwondo
You said earlier that he put a lot of Savate in JKD?
Sneak not keep legal practice
Wat
#Metrolina Martial Arts You look like coffeezilla
I see the resemblance
Ils parlent beaucoup…
Fake not...test so
What
Didn't expect a Savate video, nice surprise ! :D Also the teaching was really good, with the purpose of the kick explained ect.
Thank you for watching!!
Too many words and little action in this video.
🤷♂️
