The hand techniques/structure of Boxe Francaise
are taken directly from English Boxing from the
period of Lecour.<br><br>(for example, the "Backfist" or
"spinning backfist" is not allowed in Boxe
Francaise)<br><br>However, Savate (the complete art; not just the ring
manifestation of BF) has blows with the forearm (manchette),
elbow (coude) and open hand strikes.<br><br>Feel free
to drop by the "Salle de Savate" for more detail and
info about
Savate.<br><br><a href=http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/salledesavate

"Choisy-le-Roi USA Savate Club" (NEW JERSEY
SAVATE FEDERATION) is the most active SAVATE CLUB in the
USA, with fighters competing both in the US and in
Europe.<br><br>Keep your gloves up!<br><br>Armando
