Savate Set Two Number One
jab, chas front, hi fouette, lo rear fouette
After entering with the Jab, we do a rear chas frontal
Hi fouette followed by rear chas fouette
We now use the front thrust kick from the rear leg, the right leg
the front thrust kick leads to the round kick, as seen in Thai and Karate
we have the use of the hi fouette to the low rear fouette, same as in 1.5
in this sequence of 3 kicks, the chas is the last not first of the three
if the opponent is retreating, the chas/fouette are a great example of double pursuing kick
the finishing fouette can then drop in hard as in set 1.3
Savate Set Two Number Two
jab, cross, jab - r chas pied, chas bas, spin rev
Opening is same as Box Set One Number One J, C, C
Rear Chas pied - the oblique stamp kick to the thigh
displace to chas bas then spin revers
the finish two moves are the same as 1.4, in fact this could be viewed as 1.4 with the j, pied inserted
the fighting stance remains the same and the body does not need to turn as there are no fouette kicks - this makes the movement hard to track and non telegraphic - only on the last move do we see the spin revers and the whole body whips round
this introduces the oblique - it is essentially a chas frontal, done below the hip the lower leg and boot turn to the oblique angle
the pied/chas combination is similar to Kempo Prance of the Tiger, with these two kicks being done to the led leg due to displacement, while Kempo kicks both legs
Kempo concept is to get closer, more to trapping range, Savate stays out at long kick range
Kempo is Medio/Serrada, Savate is Largo in kali terms
Savate Set two Number Three
Jab, pied bas, chas bas, revers, cross, fouette figure
The jab and Pied again, this time as the opening move, with no J/C before, and with the chas bas after
we introduce the revers frontal, the crescent kick, as a figure strike, or to open the gloves
At this point the fighting stance has not changed, as in the 2.2
we now add cross and fouette - again the Karate gz/maw combination
movement of stance from fighting to front to side
The combination kick of pied, chas, revers is one of the trickier ones to perfect in Savate
Savate Set Two Number Four
Jab, f bas - fouette, C, J, dis chas or rear f, chas front
The fast jab and the fast fouette bas - longest weapon to lowest target again
Done as a combination, this teaches that either of these weapons can be used to enter and gain that first strike, just as a Fencing "jab"
If the opponent moves back from the Jab, then the fouette "jab" kick becomes a new entry
Fouette Bas, fouette figure
we now see the low and high fouette done on the same leg, same side - previously we alternated legs
use the floor to spring on the second kick
C/J straight punches - this is mainly to keep distance rather than used as a KO, unless the opening and timing is perfect
close with the rear fouette and chas frontal as in 1.5
the unusual combination of lead jab to rear fouette - this is seen in Box Set 7, aka KB set one, which is JJ, rear round kick
Savate Set Two Number Five
Fou lo/hi, cross, jab, r fou bas, chas front
Note that the previous 9 sets lead with a jab, this set leads with the fouette bas, the "jab" kick - the concept of not needing the jab, or being at a distance and opportunity to lead with the fouette applies
in a Street fight, the kick may be with shoes or even steel caps, and also to the knee joint/cap, inside leg, or up into the groin
the final move is the displacement chas median, to the body
set 1.2 introduced chas bas with lead left leg, and the median kick is the same mechanics on a higher line in essence
this kick could also be Bas if needed
the rear kekome would be the worst, slowest and hardest to apply in a Karate fight, and is usually practiced as part of the Kumite sets - If the opponent takes a step with his left leg and you take one with yours, at that point, given the position of the right rear leg, that would be the longest weapon to closest target if we are thrusting the flat of the boot in the sideways position to the mass of the body
NOTE: the closing move of 2.4 and 2.5 can be interchanged - after the C/J punches, either the chas dis or fou/chas can be used and would depend on the opponent's response as well as how the fighter feels in that moment
