Description
Savate (French pronunciation: [savat]), also known as savate boxing , French boxing ( _ boxe française_ ) or French footfighting , is a French kickboxing combat sport that uses the hands and feet as weapons combining elements of English boxing with kicking techniques.
Only foot kicks are allowed, unlike some systems such as Southeast Asian boxing or kickboxing, which allow the use of the knees or shins, but it allows strikes in any part of the body.
Savate is a French word for "old shoe or boot". Savate fighters wear specially designed boots. A male practitioner of savate is called a tireur while a female is called a tireuse.
