The history of Savat

What is Savat?

Savate [pronounced Sa-vat] dates back to the early 19th century and is a mixture of French kick boxing and English boxing. It is a rare European martial art. Compared to other kicking art, Savate is characterized by its accuracy and elegance. We train in a stylish way, winning battles through perspective, time and psychological understanding, not just pure power.

Savate is particularly popular in Europe and North Africa and has more and more followers in North America. Elements that may be emphasized in his research include self-defense ["barbaric defense"] and weapons such as "baton" and cane ["la canne"].

Two forms of competitive barbaric Taekwondo have emerged in the "battle" and technical "assistants" that barbarians are harder to combat. The sport of Savat is sometimes referred to as boxe francaise. Combines many Western martial arts such as boxing, fighting, weapons, and its unique kick form.

The history of a Savat

The growth of boxing since the mid-18th century and the wrestling and street play were the direct result of the social and economic changes brought about by the industrial age. However, these methods can be traced back to the earliest Greek Olympic Games. Playing in France has become the opposite of British boxing. The breeding ground is about the Western Mediterranean, where warming and loose clothes can provide greater freedom of movement. In Paris and some French provinces, there are some street games and other people influenced by local dance customs and games.

In Paris, after the time-tested "old shoes", the street game was called La Savate [pronounced Savath], and the final blow often occurred. It was not until the Napoleonic War that French prisoners of war were detained on prisoners and their British prisoners were in direct contact with Chausson and Boxing.

The war began with boxing with Chausson, but it took nearly two decades of anti-British sentiment before British boxing was accepted by France.
At the same time, Chausson enjoys a growth period. Chausson usually uses tools or improvisation tools. Since about the 1920s, these activities have begun to appeal to the imagination of young aristocrats.

The most famous mentor of this period was Michel Cassaux [1794-1869], who is often referred to as Michel Pissaux. Born in the Belleville district of Paris, he systematically named the street kicking method and named it "Sawat Art" and taught it with Canefencing and Paume. He attracted many people, including the Duke of Orléans, the Count of Rabat, Lord Henry Seymour and artist Paul Gawani.

In 1853, the military collage 'L'Ecole De Joinville' was established, and some training included La Boxe Francaise and stickfencing. This began a long-term relationship with the military, although it was thought that Chausson was implemented by the French Foreign Legion about 20 years ago. These disciplines became cultural arts, and through adventurers, immigrants, and army movements, they found their way in Europe, Africa, Britain, Canada, and the United States.

The product of this period was Alain Jebrayel [1898-1954], and his father started Chausson at an early age. He became the third generation index that was passed down from his grandfather. In sports, he is a strong man with excellent muscle control and "killer instinct." After the war, he opened a small bar in Nice called Chausson de la Riviera'. He integrated some of his assaults and unarmed battles as resistance fighters. Two of his most important students, Philippe Dufour and Marcel Villenaux, continued to teach after an accident in 1954.

Roger Lafond [1913-] was another important Paris coach after the Second World War. He is a third-generation index, and his grandfather's contact can be traced back to Lecours. Where Baruzy was a traditionalist, Lafond introduced some post-war ideas in his syllabus. In 1955, he created "La Panache," which included some Japanese one-on-one battles. At one stage, he runs most of the schools in Paris. Method Lafond is now the only syllabus in Paris that teaches traditional Savat elements.

"Savate Sport" is now an international Taekwondo movement, and as it grows, there is an increase in interest in art traditions and self-defense. This puts pressure on the league, they focus on the sport and lose a lot of knowledge and reasons about these methods. They gradually realized that there are only a few senior coaches in the world who can teach Sawat and related weapons as a whole subject.
