savate-los-angeles

Savate, the French fighting art is a shoe art. It’s literal translation means old shoe or boot. This sophisticated kickboxing art encompasses boxing with your hands and feet. Utilizing precise range, geometrical angles and elusive footwork, one can bewilder the opponent with sniper-like multiple strikes that are delivered with high accuracy. Learn to touch without being touched. Sigung Bruce Lee studied and borrowed from this beautiful art. Savate is a self defense art, however, its sports version is Boxe Francais, with the same concepts, however restricted, to be more sportsmanlike.  This program is under the supervision and instruction of professor Salem Assli, one of the leading figures in the U.S. and abroad of the French fighting arts.
