Savate set 3.4
rear fouette - esquive, parade, fouette rear bas, f bas,
cross, fouette fig
The attack is a rear round kick which retracts back and not step through
Esquive means avoid or escape
Slip step to right perfectly lines up the outside thigh for a fouette
we see this in Karate Trad set 4, the block takes the attacking leg past us to give us the outer leg target
we also see this in the Karate Sweep series, number 7, the slip step, setting up the sweep to the outside leg
We make a Parade cover/block/shield with the arm and glove a a reference as we move away
In kali terms, all Savate kicks are witik because they retract, whereas a Thai kick is a lobtik
with a step through kick, it is like a step and witik, with a retract kick it is like a witik off the rear hand
In 3.2 we followed the soto uke/gz with the kick to the low line
here we esquive and kick the low line
A slip, bob and weave are technically esquives in Savate, though we more specifically use the term to defend the low line and when using kicks
In Thai a thigh dte is defended with a Kaak shield
In savate a sweep is defended by the same movement, an esquive to remove the ankle from the path of the kick
In KOPPO this is Hichu Kamae as seen in the Kihon Happo
After the second kick to the inside, we follow with a C and hi fouette
In Set 1.1 we followed the low C with the triple kick fouette bas, r fouette bas, hi fouette
in this set we use R fou bas, fou bas, C, hi fouette
the gz/maw as seen in Karate again
