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
