Savate Set 3.2


Rear chas front - soto uke, cross, fou bas, fig

Attack is rear leg front thrust kick, either to ab or chest
block soto uke and return a C to attacker's face - this can end the fight with a KO
kick lo fouette to leg that has just landed
hi fouette to head with rear leg

Using the soto uke/gz from Karate
the lo/hi kick combo again

Variation is to do the second kick to the body, then add a spin revers to head - a true triple kick ABC that actually works in real time



Savate set 3.3

lead chas front - ged bar, pied sweep, fou fig, pied

Attack is lead leg snap kick
Low parry block and sweep as leg lands - this can send the attacker down, to be finished with a stamp, punch, Ground Kempo sequence
The block and sweep is similar to the De Ashi Harai as in Judo, and seen in Karate

If attacker retains balance, land high fouette to head or body, finish with chas bas thigh stamp

In Savate de la Rue, the last move is a leg break, can be a knee stamp

Another example where we stay in Fighting Stance and do not twist into other stances, nor step through with rear leg to opposite lead

Unusually there are no hand strikes or punches
