This photo of Carl Cestari represents the type of savate I'm more interested in; not the prancy, fancy assaut stuff I'm currently learning.
I'm gaining insights, attributes and technical details that will help my development, no doubt; but if I'm looking at a sporting model of savate, the sort of thing I'd want to be doing is more like what you see Jon Jones do in the UFC.
He uses stiff chasse bas and coup de pied bas low kicks, keeping the distance, stopping his opponent getting set and ultimately threatening to destroy the knee joint.
It's not meant to be f**king ballet!
