savate KB ABC
Jab, cross, hook
Hi fouetté, fouetté bad, chas frontal
So far the HH ABCs have been progressive as in boxing
Double jab
Jab cross
Jab hook
This fifth set starts with jab, cross, hook
Savate of course allows displacement and a wider swing on the hook than in boxe Anglais
We follow the hook pinch with a fouetté kick, lead leg, to the same spot
We follow this with a low fouetté bas using our rear boot to his lead leg
As our left leg us now our rear leg we use a front thrust kick
The primary thrust kick in savate is the side kick
This equates to yoko Geri kekome in karate
The front kick is therefore called chas frontal
It equates to karate Mae Geri
In Thai we do tiip dte
Front thrust kick followed by round kick to leg
Thai set 5 reverses this dte tiip
In this savate set we do fouetté bas followed by chas frontal
