THAI and SAVATE

From our perspective these were later additions though they had existed in their own countries and evolved over generations


SAVATE - Boxe Francais - French Boxing

goes back out to the longer range of Karate, like Shotokan into Full Contact Karate with the Boxing added

refers to English Boxing as Boxe Anglais - hands only

so Boxe Francais is the kick boxing version

uses the Chasse side kick as it's primary kick

Chasse D'Arret - Interception

in some ways Kick Fencing rather than Kick Boxing as it draws from the French sword

it's complementary weapon is La Canne, the walking stick - like Largo Mano



in STMA we primarly source the ABC Enchainment combinations in partner drill applied in Sparring

these can be worked on the bag and focus pads




THAI - Muay Thai - Muay Boran - Thai Boxing

it's complementary weapon being Krabi Krabong

Krabi Daab double short swords - pairs with KALI

Closer range, kicking with shin, using knee - so like Kyokushin

adds use of Elbow in matches


in STMA we primarly source the Thai Pad drills and their Sparring application
