Description
Savate means ‘old shoe’. Practitioners usually fight with kicks but they can also hold weapons such as a sword, dagger, pole, cane, etc. But in modern sports, players wear gloves on their fists like kick-boxers. As boxing techniques were added in the development process, savate was utilized for training French soldiers. It was a demonstration sport in the Paris 1924 Summer Olympics.
