It's partially why I dropped my Japanese Jiu Jitsu class, that and I was driving 2 hours a day for work and driving another hour round trip for a one hour class that had 5 minutes of warmup, 5 minutes of cooldown, and then probably 30-45 minutes of actual technique training just wasn't worth my time

Checking kicks is a pretty universal striking technique. So is the roundhouse with minimal chambering. You see those in kyokushin karate, dutch kickboxing etc etc.

[@MarDGar]

Why did they say only 3 kicks are allowed? I thought they allowed a lot more.

[@mpforeverunlimited]

He said 3 and listed 4 lol

[@DrEmilSchaffhausenThe3rd]

There's at least 7 different kicks.

[@kingofdjembe]

There are 3 maim types of kicks (fouetté, chassé and revers). All these 3 can be thrown low, medium or to the head. Also, chassé and revers can be frontal or lateral. The 3 of them can be spinning. And finally there is "coup de pied bas". Low kick that can be thrown either in the shin or to swipe th opponent. Altogether that's a lot of kicks.

[@victorgallegos9836]

You can categorize hand-to-hand martial arts into 4 categories. Boxing and Kickboxing (striking arts), Wrestling and Submission (grappling arts). Savate is a kickboxing martial art. Kickboxing itself is not a martial art, it's an umbrella term, kinda like MMA. Karate, Muay Thai, Kung Fu, Sanda, Taekwondo, Savate, these are all kickboxing martial arts. Although all of these arts could have their individual sport outside of the kickboxing sport ruleset to have rules that are more specified to fit their style, like what you see in this video.

[@twistsnkicks]

They don't try and catch kicks and sweep in Savate?

[@michaelterrell5061]

It’s not allowed in competition

[@DrEmilSchaffhausenThe3rd]

True, there is no catch allowed.However, Balyage (sp?) Is essentially a sweep.

[@ivanildocafu3452]

What's the difference between Savate and Kickboxing? 🤔

[@kingofdjembe]

In kickboxing, you are barefoot and usually kick with the shin. In savate, wear shoes and have to kick with the shoe, hsin kicks are forbidden. Although one federation tolerates it (in order it let kickboxers enter the competition). In practice it makes the management of distance different.

[@kingofdjembe]

Basicamente savate é um tipo de chute boxe com sapatos. Em vez de chutar com o tíbia, tem que chutar com o pé.

To keep running the step

[@michaelterrell5061]

The shoes,the way they move around the ring in a lateral motion,they can only kick with the different parts of the foot and no where else,they tend to stay at a longer distance,the stance,they don’t have a lot of head movement,They throw and equal amount of punches and kicks in the same go so a lot of punch kick and kick punch combinations,you can catch kick with the foot,And they also tend to lean back on their kicks a lot,they are a bit more technical on average,they tend to use kicks like jabs,they move around when they kick while leaning backwards.

There are lots of kicks but they are based on 3 types "snaping" or Whipping, thrusting and what they translate as 'slinging" more of a straight leg action from the hips..like the crescent kick..these are "revers" (reverse or "backhand kicks most...but olso the shin kick, which i dont think we say in this fight)

Savate, (which is not a sport), or gladiator-massacre combat. Almost free from moral and sporting ethics: almost everything is allowed, (fortunately it is forbidden by law to kill the opponent). I presume that if this were not the case, this last act would also be reached, to satisfy the sadistic-murderous instincts of some lovers of this discipline. This is my thought, just see certain clips on KZbin.
