Are the vertical fist punches still used in savate or they are something old nowadays?
I’m really curious. Are there any unique punching techniques unique to Savate? Or is Savate punching basically traditional boxing
Hi, great question. The Savate punches are exactly the same as so-called 'English boxing', what is usually simply called 'boxing' . This is largely for historical reasons as the punch techniques were imported into Savate straight from Broughton rules boxing in first half of the 19th century.
Question, is spinning backfist allowed in Savate?
Good question. No it's isn't. The punching rules are pretty much the same as for boxing: front of the glove only, no holding, no hitting back of head etc.
