    Not me, I was impressed as well and my brain has taken to it like a sponge, I can't help it.

    ...so I went and bought Duby's video set.

    Are there any MMA fights wherein savate kicks are used? Have any MMA fighters used savate as the striking base of their fighting skills?

    L,

    Check out Vunak's 'energy drills' tape. There are some cool examples and descriptions regarding savate kicks and sparring. Reviewing that with the new Duby videos is quite enlightening.

    It's French kickboxing, and to me....no offense...it looks really gay. But then again, so do most French people. (No offense).

    I have met a few savate peeps. Including a acquaintance of mine now who I cross hands with on occasion.

    Depending on who the player is like any art showcases how good it looks. Personally I think Savate is a excellent combative sport/combative fighting system with a lot of empircal work under its legs.

    Here is a wonderfull link on the old school of street savate.

    We don't talk about Savate

    The mysterious fancy free French kick boxing art practiced by drunken sailors and ***** mongers. It's one of the first full-contact fighting sports and yet it's never discussed. How do the lords of MMA view this kicking fit of fury?

    I never liked the way alot of them kick. It looks like its intentionally stiff legged and doesnt have the fluid whip of other styles
