Thanks for a great video. Capoeira uses its arm positions similarly; eventually they're not as strictly needed in their canonical form, and can be adapted to become an enormous variety of guard positions, but in the beginning they really help with body mechanics, momentum, and stability. (People often look at "demo capoeira" and think that's all there is to it. Not by a far cry!)
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Love hearing about the ways different martial arts overlap. This is essentially the 'old guard' for Savate, nowadays it's a more standard hands up position, but going back this was the way. Still makes for a great way to get beginners started and working your balance. Thanks again for stopping by and filling us in on some Capioera facts. Cheers.
You're very welcome! There's a lot of benefit to these older methods. I look forward to sharing more of these old school gems in the future. Look to the future and learn from the past. Cheers.
Yes Sir, it really helps, but in my humble opinion the anchin bacjward ir firward -wuth a oartner) helps probably in stage two, after having learned the kick. Best regards. Paul,69, retired instructor of karate.
These drills always come after learning the basic techniques not before. Especially with a partner it's about sharing the balance so you can assist your partner and they can freely work proper technique and extension. Hope that clarifies things.
Thanks! That means a lot. Funny part is I'm American but my dad's family is french. It's part of what led me to seek out Boxe Francaise Savate in the first place. So I've been visiting there ever since I was quite young. Once again appreciate the kind words and thank you for watching.

That oblique kick a game ender
Great drills! I'm gonna definitely include them in my taekwondo kicking routines
Thank you kindly! That's the beauty of a lot of the drills I share. I hope and encourage people to implement them in different styles. Hope it helps.
This comes from the time when they trained and fought on boats and would hold the rail or rigging for balance .
That is correct. A classic Savate fun fact. Thanks for watching.

Are you also a doctor?
No, it's just an old nickname and a handful of friends who call me Doc.
