That is one of the best explanations of Savate grading system I've seen!! Clear, concise and to the point.
Thank you very much for that!!
Thanks very much. Glad you found it useful. Do you get to train in Savate?
@@LondonSavate well actually yes. I'm a Jeet Kune Do Instructor since 1989 and, as you probably know, Savate is an integral part of it, Bruce Lee used several techniques and training methods of Savate.
I fell in love with Savate since the first day and kept training on it ever since. With time I received my silver glove in Savate De Rue (JKD is street oriented, remember?) and started teaching it, privately mainly. I use the same grading system in my classes, but I never seen anybody explain it so clearly on a video before, I think that it's a great help for people interested in Savate.
@@leopanzardo Very kind of you to say!
@@leopanzardo an aspect of JKD I like is the willingness to discuss and think about its concepts. That's what I am aiming to open up with Savate in an English-speaking arena.
@@LondonSavate that's great!
I believe that Savate is a great fighting sport, specially it footwork! Many people talk about Savate kicks and yes they are great of course, but there are other sports with very good kicks too like Tae Kwon Do and Capoeira. But very few other martial arts have the distance and position control that comes with Savate footwork. And that is very, very useful in street situations, that and a very powerful chase bas!!! :)
Thanks for watching. Can this apply to your sparring? (And tell us what style you do as well).
Thank for very much for giving us a breakdown. I never once thought about there being a ranking system like this.
Fantastic explanation James. Really clearly presentation of the core element of each glove grade. Enjoyed this a lot.
Thanks Martin. Feel free to use/steal the explanation if ever it helps!
Awesome breakdown mate. Love it. Very analytical system.
I just started savate and this rang so many bells. Chaotic and freeform, yes.
That's great. Let me know how you get on.
This way of evolving in your abilities for specific situations/strategies should be used in boxing and other combats sports. Plus the fact that this progression allows you to understand the complexity of dealing with different kinds of opportunities and limitations (out of the box of just fighting hard) incentivating fighters to be more complete and efficient.
I tell you this as someone with 13 years of boxing, 4 of judo and currently enjoying the practice and teaching of Savate BF in Chile.
I completely agree. It's a great blueprint for any boxing style to learn from.
Hi! Really enjoyed your vid sir
Glad to hear it! Thanks for saying so.
@@LondonSavate I have been thinking, a follow along savate boxe française video might be nice
@@waipalisrevenge3707 yes, what sort of thing were you thinking? I have some full-length Savate lessons already on this channel (playlist ua-cam.com/play/PL2agH2WQDqG64q4reXTuz42b48o94ayjg.html) and a new lesson every week is published on my online academy londonsavate.co.uk/onlineacademy/
Great breakdown! Easily understandable for us newbies
Thanks for saying so! Hope it helps.
I understand the importance of glove progression system in terms of psychology and progression of skills. Just curious as to how people who are self taught (myself included) would be ranked from watching videos such as yours? Or does rank not matter so long as they get a good grasp on fundamentals and mastery over them?
Hi Phillip, thanks for watching. The students who do online gradings with me use a partner as that is an inescapable part of doing rankable Savate. They may train solo, but find a partner for their assessment. Your second question is interesting to me, as mastery over fundamentals in a competitive, interactive sport such as Savate is evident when someone boxes, regardless of whether or not they have ever graded. So in a sense rank/grade doesn't matter, but is a good yardstick or guide to progress.
@@LondonSavate Thanks so much for such a quick answer! It really helps understand how grades/ranks matters in the grand schemes of things. And how much training really matters in progression with partners and the like. I look forward to doing more training and learning from you! :)
@@PhinTheShoto my pleasure. If you'd like to be part of my online Savate Academy and develop with us, you'd be very welcome londonsavate.co.uk/onlineacademy
Just out of curiosity in your opinion james what percentage of English boxing techniques utilizing the fist are actually in boxe francais savate?
Hi, technically English boxing techniques are all legal in Savate, so that's100% of them. You'll see punches used more, however, in Combat (for KOs) than in Assaut (touch). There is a Savate rule that punches cannot predominate over kicks, so percentage-wise it should be under 50%, but that's down to referee judgement and so long as you throw a few kicks in, you are unlikely to fall foul of this rule especially in Combat. In Assaut, I probably throw around 20% punches (wild guess), mainly to set up a higher value kick point. Is this what you were getting at?
@@LondonSavate yeah I'm really doing my research and history into savate and its development and it's pretty interesting! Back in the nineteenth century when there were contests between savate Fighters versus English bare-knuckle boxers it seems like it was very interesting and somewhere along the line the two combat approaches became interfused from what I understand and savate became more than just a kicking art. I personally think French savate is awesome and I wish there were more schools in the US!
