“Testing Savate” is a much better title than “Can I make Savate work?” It’s a little less insulting and more understanding.

He may not be as old as IcyMike who famously bought comics for 75 cents but WB sure was there for most of historys biggest events.

[@icarryaknife8933]

I laughed as soon as I read this, but then I cursed myself. So I just looked up one of the first comic books I remember purchasing for myself (Uncanny X Men 205). Price listed on the cover. 75 cents. Now I'm hurting in my soul.

And yes, you MUST Sumo wrestle Wonderboy, like you mentioned at the end of the video! I love the Sumo content, and I really enjoy when you train with Wonderboy, so I'm all for a video that has a combination of both.

[@abcdefgcdefg5178]

I literally just commented he should challenge him to sumo cuz I'm only 3 min into the video..guess I should go delete my comment 🙈😂 dammit

[@florentboyer2736]

The spinning kick of Nicolas Saignac was insane (4:37). With reinforced shoes it probably hurts a lot. I'll need to learn that.

[@johnsmith_1942]

[@xiMaarKo]

His stance is very different though , if he could adjust it to savate stance I agree .

[@yeetmaster8389]

Great vid, its also crazy to see wonderyboy's sense of distance in sparring it feels so effortless watching him set the distance in sparring while also getting his hits in

[@MrSchnapss]

Cela manque de "décalage" et de "débordement" qui sont des déplacement latéraux extrêmement important dans la boxe française. tu va les mettre en application lors du passage du gant rouge.

[@TheElbowMerchant]

As long as you're not blindfolded like you were in one of Wonderboy's recent videos, you should be fine. I love these collab videos! Keep up the great work, Sensei Seth. It's only a matter of time before you will know ALL of the martial arts.

[@orboflighter6085]

I love that Mike just let you spin and waited for you

[@serpenttao]

That backspin fakeout into the snapping kick is so freaking cool. And it's absolutely insane that Stephen saw it three times and then did it, perfectly, in sparring. Y'all are absolute legends. Congrats on the green gloves, too! It's really awesome how far you're expanding your martial arts training and how it's all coming together for you. A joy to follow and see. Big ups for all your collaborations, too. Great to see more work with Metrolina as well as Icy Mike and of course Wonderboy.

[@Ramboldt]

I've never done any striking yet in my life, but the dodge at 13:27 lowkey blows my mind. The reaction to Seth stepping through a bit more with his back leg or starting to turn away seems really quick.

[@ElDrHouse2010]

Really showcases why WB is such a elite level striker. When it comes to striking he is gawd tier. All the feints he does, his habits, the mind game, how he is 1 step ahead everytime. He just makes it seem so effortless.

[@crazedzealots]

Except against the powerful and explosive Tyron Woodley when he was in his prime sadly. I was so rooting for Wonderboy to be the captain America type of Champion we all needed to make Karate great again.

[@ElDrHouse2010]

@@crazedzealots The competition has got way harsher also a lot of grapplers which tend to be WB kriptonite happens, grappling is in fact very strong & shouldn't be underestimated.

[@MzuMzu-nx1em]

Savate works great , i have tried some lesson , i witnessed some high level sparring , it's actually awesome and effective.

[@MagickArmory]

Duh Seth the French "spin" because they like to say "oui (wee)!" Lol😂

[@BrettRobert]

You should visit France and train there, then swing by the Netherlands for some Dutch kickboxing. I got to train Savate in Aix-en-Provence for a couple months and it was a blast. Great training partners.

[@T_L_D]

aww, that kick drag at 10:43 is sweet! I like that. nice work on everything!

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

The dude at about 11mins recovered from seths side kick with a squat. Was like straight out of an anime, just without the sliding. Pushed back, squat, pop back up. Was pretty cool. Never saw that before.

[@mepiffi]

Man, your videos are just so much fun!

[@biohazard724]

Spinning in one direction then round kicking back in the opposite direction is something I never would see coming 4:13

[@johnsmith_1942]

In savate the non-kicking foot stays planted. There's no hopping and skippin during kick. It's pracrical as people wear shoes in normal life and the ground can be slippery. It's also harder to sweep planted foot. That's probably why bruce lee liked some of savate kicks.

[@chainyrabbit]

I like how you guys all know each other pretty well now

[@lordMartiya]

Why would sailors and streetfighters fence with their feet? Because Savate was first a sailor's martial art and then the chosen fighting method of Paris' streetfighters.

[@ChucksSEADnDEAD]

Hitting with a closed fist was a serious assault charge, but kicks and open hand slaps were a minor offense. So street fighters adapted to the legal "loophole".

[@lordMartiya]

@@ChucksSEADnDEAD I think there's a misunderstanding: the "fence with their feet" thing assumes the first Savateurs were fencers and thus nobles, when they actually were sailors who had better things to do than fancy swordplay. As for dodging the assault charge... As far I know, that was a side effect: the reason Marseille's sailors learned how to kick from Kalari practitioners was that the Mediterranean stretch of their voyage was infested by Barbery pirates and they wanted something to supplement their cutlasses in combat. Dodging the assault charge in street fights was simply a lucky coincidence.

[@jamessteggles6579]

Was having IcyMike and Ed in the background planned or just was there? Loved it either way!

[@Joefrazier87]

Good stuff 👍 Dude, you need to do an episode with Paul Vunak. Just think it would be interesting.

"Maybe I should sumo wrestle him" KZbin: *recommends video of sensei Seth sumo wrestling*

[@russmitchellmovement]

Sensei: I'm no longer a good exponent after a lot of injuries, but one thing you're missing that'll help a lot is to get off your heels. Savateurs never sink their weight except on purpose, but try to be as floaty and light as possible in order to roll/fade with impacts.

[@karenm5681]

2:24 “To make a long story medium…” 😜😆🤣😂😁

[@hugejackedman3447]

See, you should have explained to Prof Nicolas that you needed some sneaky tactics to beat one of the world's most elite strikers and you might have learned to secret art of the "Pirouette"

[@ratnadipchatterjee4963]

Very nice video Bro 👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@ynghuch]

More and more you'll realise that most martial arts are a hybrid of other martial arts with their own spin on the techniques. Doesn't mean they're bad, in a lot of cases they improve on the techniques and are better. Karate is an umbrella term for Japanese striking styles based on Chinese martial arts with influences from other styles too.

[@ADAM_COLLECTS]

you need to go to a shinkyokushin dojo. it’s called “The Strongest Karate” for a reason. Ask your mate Jesse how he went in Shihan Brian’s class

[@wesleyjackson7487]

Savate likes to kick with toes a lot I think Uechi ryu karate would work well with the kicking combos that savate as since Uechi teaches you to kick with toes but without having shoes on

[@XarkoCZ]

Yes! The path to victory is clear. Wonderboy will stand no chance agaisnt the power of the national sumo champion!

16:20 Wonderboy in a nutshell

[@dacedebeer2697]

Lol I love the premise where Seth goes on an anime journey involving different styles and foreign masters to essentially spar with Wonderboy and "win" the sparring match. Except everyone knows Wonderboy is still Wonderboy, so he will just playfully and respectfully destroy Seth without really hurting him.

[@BnR1038]
