Thank you for watching!!
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! 🙏🙇♂️
Agreed.
The fight between Ramon Dekkers and Francois Pennacchio was a classic example of the principles taught in this video. Great class. Thank you.
Thanks Kevin, as a french savate practitioner it's cool to see it getting some light in other countries.
This gentleman is a great teacher. A true master of his craft. A very nice guy too :)
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.
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.
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
Great video guys, can't agree more about the footwork.
Sidesteps, décalages &débordements are a real game changer
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love the concept of drawing them in😁 using stop kicks in combination is a great way to frustrate and make your opponent over commit. Awesome video 🔥
Thank you!!
Erik Paulson of Combat Submission Wrestling incorporated this into his striking curriculum. STX includes Saignac’s savate with Sirisute’s Thai boxing.
Great content here!!! These two amazing instructors together is just perfect!!! Savate Magic right here.
It is one of the very best, and I love the training methodology.
This was so interesting to see how well the person kicking is protected while setting there follow up. Going to check this out with the link.....Thanks so much for the video. Peace.
Always good to listen to Professor Nick
Your Savate content is so cool!
Great video!!
Love it!!! 🔥🔥🔥
this is a so great video, appreciated it. thank you very much. it is really great!
I love these videos that allow us to see their mindset in the art. Nice video Kevin
Another awesome video, Kevin.
Im glad im still awake for this video
🫡 Thank you!!
@@KevinLeeVlog Holyy molyy thank you for the like replyy 🗻
Very practical for self defense application to practice with shoose ❤
Great video! I love this style, i do kickboxing but i wish there was a savat gym around where i live.
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!
He's amazing.
I’ve always been meaning to ask. Savate is such a niche martial art here in the states. How did you become involved with it and what drew you in?
I met Professor Nick at the seminar conference and fell in love with it!
I love your videos ❤! Greetings from Germany 😊
"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
Nice content
Savate is a great art!
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. ❤
"....boxing with the feet".
My last mma opponent was a Savate background guy...beat the 💩 out of me hahaha
I sparred him after this and I only hit him once 😂
@@KevinLeeVlog Savat guys are such good strikers! 😬
This where Bruce lee got his kicking style from. If you notice Bruce did not kick like most people.
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
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.
Jon Jones who’s already unstoppable at the moment should learn Savate.
Well he's already known for the chasse frontal bas / chasse italian (stomp kicks)
Can you do Kyokushin or Dutch Kickboxing collab videos. Thanks!
savate is self defence art, women or child can kick and run (survive befor winning )
Savate got to the finals in UFC1
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 ;)
Fan-TASTIC vid!
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?
yea lol, guy really good at distance control with a reach and height advantage is hard to hit, news at 11
Everyone has a huge reach advantage over Kevin

I sparred Nicolas in 1994. I know his shoe size b/c his footprint is still on my torso.
Kevin, how do i practice wing chun at home, i can do sparring with my brother who practises kickboxing, but i need to get rid of the fear of being hit in the face, it's really hard without wooden dummy, i can only use chair😂, and i don't know what drills to use for mastering my techniques, i definitely need help with that part😢
Love it but how does this style handle aggressive pressure and space closing?
That depends on the practitioners. There are lots of fight videos on RUclips you can also check out!
@@KevinLeeVlog love your channel actually. I’d like to see more sparring and pressure testing though. Maybe after the end of every video? Keep it up Kevin!
Google savate vs muay thai.
Can you check vietnamese martial arts shifu kevin lee?
If I can find a good instructor I will!
@KevinLeeVlog Thank you, shifu kevin.
How does Savate relate to La Boxe Francais?
It’s just an other name for savate. They are the same 😊
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
Yep. It’s the same. There are different aspects to the history - Le Apaches gangland and street/ seafaring style applications I think. Did a wee bit La Canne as well.
@@marcelbourdeau2084
Is that ‘English’ boxing codified by the Marquis of Queensberry, Dumfries and a Welshman.
👍
Please come and experience KURODAIYA the revolution in selfdefense and fighting.YOU will be surprised
I think Wonderboy would love this martial art.
@@ElDrHouse2010 I agree! I am gonna try to get him to train Savate next time!
Hey kevin how old are you?
Definitely getting old 😂😂
@@KevinLeeVlog hoy hoy, no offense! 😅
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.
Similar footwork to Tkd
Nice
Great video!
