As per the JKD motto of “Absorb what’s useful,” I’m definitely gonna spend some time practicing that prone stance. Also, that one “uppercut to the armpit -> punch to the face” combo is really nice… Simple and effective. Great video.

I practiced Taekwondo for 6 yrs and Savate for only 1 yr
Both are very different styles but I have to say I enjoyed Savate so much more…. sadly my Savate instructor moved to a different city …. no more training ”(

@pugilistica I train in martial arts, I do believe that simple, defensive techniques is all we need out there in the streets. No need to do flashy things due to high risk, like you say.

This is good a lot better than often seen on yt Fairly reasonable & realistic ideas/scenarios.Theres always some one that says its “not quite right” or”its useless”,always acting like they are the authority on common sense.Nitpicking fault finding fk’n bullshit Some one throws a high kick in this case-an aspect of savate that has always been there-and its a tizzy “that wouldn’t work”its not responsible” “an old lady couldn’t do that”- No shit.”Its JKD”"its MT”NO it isn’t! Gets on my f*#@n nerves

@pugilistica Well, having thought about it some more, I would say that you’re, in the end, quite right (Argh! My ego.. it hurts!). However, I kinda have to say that this is not the best video about the self-defence capabilities of Savate.
I heard of the “Canne de combat”, one other way of Savate, that could be quite efficient, without using too much strengh or agility. And it works with umbrellas.

@Contevent Forgive me, I didn’t mean to imply that you were wrong by definition. Perspective is something that changes (like just about everything else) as you get older. My knowledge and experience of martial arts technique comes from having trained in them for the last 37 years straight, and have applied many of them realistic situations. My initial point was that high kicks look good in films and in the gym, but are not really viable for most people in real life.

@pugilistica Perspective: Isn’t it the point of a discution? Does it mean that I am wrong by definition?
Knowledge: I do have a theorical knowledge of how things works, and I’ve studied many martial arts trough questions and interviews.
Experience: Indeed, but that’s not an argument. Use your experience to tell me where I’m wrong.
Understanding: Like Sherlock Holmes said “Data data data, I can’t make wall without clay!”

@pugilistica Nothing about martial art.
But what does it have to do with our problem?
pugilistica says:

@Contevent We look at things from a different perspective as we get older. I have been teaching martial arts and self-defence for over 30 years. You?
Contevent says:

@pugilistica That’s why you must train, to know when to do the move without beeing exposed. Every move have a weakness, the trick is to know when and where it is not dangerous to do it.
And an old woman is maybe worthy of defending herself, however, maybe she is not able to do it with martial art. In which case, maybe some weapon could be more effective. (That’s many maybe…)
As I said, one should adapt to the mean of defence to find the one he or she feel the more confortable.

@Contevent Effective self-defence should be available to all, not just the fittest and strongest. Or are you saying that a 60 year old woman, for example, is not worthy of defending herself? The idea of throwing a head kick to someone’s head (unless of course they are already laying on the ground) is absurd. The higher your leg goes up the more exposed your groin becomes, and there is a greater chance of your leg being grabbed or, indeed, your other foot slipping out from under you.

@pugilistica Beeing able to survive without particular training is a myth, I would say. Any kind of defence must be taught, assimilate and practiced regulary to be effective in a stressful situation.
Besides, no technics are universal, one should be adapt to the technic (because of his natural strengh, agility, his size, the gender etc…).
However, I would agree on the fact that it doesn’t look so basic to me neither. Maybe It just because they’re good at it.

@sonoflurch The boxing in savate comes from English boxing actually.

I predict, in Tekken 7 there’s going to be a savate fighter.

Savate in its original(street) form included knees elbows and even head butts, those technics have been forbidden for competition, we can find them again through savate défense

@FaMas1911 Why say you that this is not traditional Savate? I think this is Savate de Rue , the traditonal style of Savate for the street , not only the sport Savate.

@saiyinfox
This isn’t traditional Savate. It’s called Savate Defense.
