Hi all, I'm interested in learning savate in Chicago. I see that Kensho unfortunately closed in 2020. Is anyone familiar with any other places in Chicago? I have found a few places that liste savate online, but hoping to get some firsthand experience - thanks!

I was wondering about your experiences with testing for glove ranks . So as far as I know , no one in my state can promote me or test me . I know that last year there was a seminar that ended with testing . Do you guys go out of state to test ? Or can u do it over video chat maybe with a partner on your end ?

Thanks

i am using a "rugby mouthguard" for savate is this necessarily a bad idea ?

Where I live the nearest fight gym is less than a fifth of a mile away so sprinting there within 5 minutes isn't hard. The Savate shoes I bought, both combat and assaut, are pretty hard to put on and take off. I also have to lug them around in one arm So I'm wondering how practical would using them for outdoors travel be? Because I'd rather have them on the whole time I go to and leave from the gym from and going back home instead of the irritating process of taking them on and off and lugging them around in my hands every training appointment.

So is it ok to walk to the gyms while wearing Savate shoes? Or do I risk wearing them out much quicker? The path to my gym is on cement paved road and solid hard side walk in a typical small neighborhood city background if you need any indication.

Hi everyone.

I'm a bjj practitioner and I want to learn a striking stand up art soon to compliment my ground game.

I'm really drawn to savate.

I mainly want some form of striking for conditioning

Main question was is savate good for conditioning and how much of it is kicks vs punches? I'm a short person and fairly stocky so have not got great reach.

Hi everyone,

I take the opportunity to celebrate our 1000 subscribers! Nearly 2 years after I took back this subreddit as moderator, I'm happy I've been able to make it more faithful to Savate, and a regular space with French Boxing content.

Hence my question: what do you want to see more on this subreddit? Do you prefer youtube videos or shorts? More about combat (full contact) or assaut (light touch)? Let me know!
