| Savate (pronounced 'savat'), is also known as boxe française ("French boxing"), French Kickboxing or French Footfighting, Savate is a French martial art which uses both the hands and feet as weapons and combines elements of western boxing with graceful kicking techniques. Only foot kicks are allowed, unlike some systems, such as Muay Thai, which allow the use of the knees or shins. Savate is perhaps the only style of kickboxing in which the fighters habitually wear shoes (savate being a French synonym for "shoe"). A practitioner of savate is called a savateur (male) or savateuse (female). |
