Anyone know of any Savate instruction in NYC?

Thanks
Scott

Hello everybody,



I wanted to remind to the residents in the US that the History Channel
is having a show on Savate this Friday at 10:00 PM.



Here is the link the HC website where you can see some clips on the
show.

Hello all,

I registered for this group last night, and just wanted to give an
intro as I explore the extras here.  I have several years experience
in shotokan and kobudo.  After a typical stage of life I have found
myself with a couple degrees, a wife, and a son.  I am now in the
worst shape of my life and would again like to use ma to maintain my
health.

While practicing Eastern ma, I never realized there was a whole world
of Western ma awaiting me.  I think this is in a large part due to
the popularization of the east, with neglect of the west being the
price paid.  I have now come across savate, and am quite interested
in studying an art from a culture that was once a part of my family.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no representation of savate here in
Florida, and I would gladly accept any assistance or possible options
to train in this art without a local school.

Thank you for having me, and hope you don't mind the slew of
questions that will come.

~John~

There was a gym in Lansing, the cross trainers club that offered it. I'm not
sure if it's still there.

Short clip of Gilles teaching in Cambridge:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnZDBGWz6Jg

I've checked out the message archives and it seems someone asked this
before and couldn't be helped much, so this is a long shot, but I
might as well try.

I live in Phoenix, Arizona during the summer and nearby Tempe the rest
of the year.  I was wondering if any of the members here might now of
gyms that offer Savate classes in my area(s).  There's one gym, in a
town a bit far from either of my homes, that offers only self-defense
courses, and not Savate per se.  I'm not interested in taking a
self-defense course, and I want to focus on kickboxing only.

Thanks for any help you might be able to bring.

-Moses

Hey thanks:)
I have a question,whats the step off and how do you do it?

We just updated for our website, now strictly about savate:
http://www.trinitymartialarts.com. It now includes a slideshow of a
few pics from the recent Championnat du Monde Assaut. I would be
interested in trading links with other savate pages and kickboxing-
oriented sites as well, so feel free to email trinitysavate@...
if you're interested.

We also have a MySpace page if anyone wants to check it out and
become "friends" with their page: http://www.myspace.com/trinitysavate.

Checked out NCSavate.com and also added listed it in the savate
section of http://www.dmoz.org. Looking good! The calendar is a great
option.

Michael no longer trains out of Insosanto Academy - he now runs his
own school - The School of Savate in West Hollywood (I train with
him). His students have bee quite successful in our Souther California
competitions. And you're right, it's a great clip showing how
effective Savate can be in the ring!

Please visit the GBSF Forum (The Savate Universe) from time to
time to get a feel for what's happening over this side of the pond:

Just to inform you that Gilles le Duigou will be coming back to
Cambridge at the end of the month (Sat 27 Jan 2007) to conduct
another seminar. He will be accompanied by Florence Suire, a
many times Savate Champion, including French, European and
World.

For those of you who don't know who Gilles is, please read the
following:

Gilles le Duigou

30+ years in Savate

114 competitive fights in total (rough breakdown in brackets):

Savate (60) only lost 4 times in Savate competition; English
Boxing (20) 14 amateur and 6 Pro fights (won 4, lost 2) was
amateur Boxing Champion of Paris, and winner of two other
amateur tournaments; Kickboxing (14); and Full-Contact (20).
One of Gilles' Full-Contact trainers was the legendary Dominic
Valera.

In 1985, Gilles fought and beat the fabulous Francois
Pennacchio in the semi-finals of the French Championships.
After losing the first round, to the highly-skilled and fast kicking
Pennacchio, Gilles switched tactics and used his English Boxing
skills to win the next four rounds.

(Pennacchio later went on to defeat Ramon Dekkers, the Thai
Boxing legend, in a kickboxing challenge match. "The Dutch
sensation fought in Milan in the 1990s losing a spectacular
match against French Savate Champion Francois Pennacchio.
Nobody expected Pennacchio to last more than a few minutes,
but the Frenchman found out that Savate sweeps were effective
against Dekkers and used them to build a victory on points.")

In 1986 (before there was an official World Championships),
Gilles beat everyone he met in the ring, including Daklaoui (Fr),
to become Champion of Europe. In that same year, he also
fought a Japanese Full-Contact fighter, who was an extremely
powerful kicker. Gilles had been ill in the weeks before the fight
and, possibly as a result of that, he had both arms broken when
he tried to block a particularly strong round kick. Gilles continued
to fight, even though he knew one of his arms was broken, and
eventually knocked out his opponent in the fourth round with a
fouetté (whip kick) to the liver.

Some time after breaking his arms in that fight (he now has at
least one steel plate as a result!), Gilles fought the remarkable
Richard Sylla, but lost in the third round to an uppercut punch to
the liver. So now you know why he likes that particular target!

Please email me in the first instance for further information, or if
you are interested in attending: info@...

Great clip of our friend Michael Giordani winning the Muay Thai title.

Those of you who were with us on the US TEAM in 2000 or 2002 will
remember him as the team captain.  He fights out of/trains at the
Inosanto Academy.

Notice the Savate skills coming through (hand/foot combo balance,
mastery of distance, kicking/punching from range).

Congratulations Michael!

This is some very old (silent film era) footage of a woman doing
Savate.


It looks rather silly by today's Savate standards, but still cool to
watch to see the early practice of the art (notice the takedowns and
defenses, not allowed in the ring anymore).


Enjoy!

NCSavate.com is now up and running. Still adding to the site, but the
matrix is now up. Please check out the site. Any pics or articles
appreciated.Thanks.

1) Is over 25 (i'm now closing in on 29) too old to start training in
Savate?  I used to back and I'm currently training in Aikido, as well
as  starting to powerlift and yoga.  I also boxed on and off in the past.

2)Is there a school in New York where I can train in Savate?

Great clip of Savateur Farid Khider fighting in K-1, the Grand Prix of
kickboxing (check out his use of the barefoot chasse bas!)

http://youtube.com/results?search_query=Farid+Khider

Really good show of Savate (Khider is a Savate
champion in France).   He just incorporates some fundamental Thai
knees and clinchwork goes to town.

Keep training hard!

BASULTO ACADEMY OF DEFENSE

At TEAM BAD (home of NJ SAVATE) we always set the bar high for
training intensity and training integrity.

Our philosophy was to not provide instruction in techniques
and "styles" but instead to provide immersion in diverse "training
experiences".    Many of those training experiences and scenarios
required "full commitment" from participants.   Every training
session was "student-centered" not "instructor-centered".

This demanded a lot of self-motivated dedication to a high level of
athleticism, even if only part of the time during training cycles.
Our unofficial mantra was "we'll provide the boat but you've got to
do the rowing".

Many people with best intentions were at times discouraged to find
out the commitment and hard work necessary for "real-world" ring or
fight-survival skills.

I'd like to recommend a great article regarding "real-world" training
written by Ken Good, former Naval Special Warfare operator and head
of Strategos International, a top notcht training facility for
security professionals and private contract operators.

It is a long article, but well worth the read.   I highly recommend
it.

Who is Training Whom?
"I have been in sort of an ongoing debate with some in the tactical
training community regarding the concept of "high level" training
verses "lowest common denominator training."  High-level, being
defined as challenging, difficult, slightly beyond the trainees'
capability, type of training where everybody does not
necessarily "get it" right away; in some cases, never. Training that
could be considered steak instead of the disgusting, blended carrots
you spoon feed to a toddler……"

Check out this clip of Ali Kanfouah, Savate champ, fighting Muay
Thai.  He is the fighter in the green trunks.

Notice in this fight
- his use of distance
- great handwork from Savate
- some strong coup pied bas
- good kicking out of punching combos

Especially when training hard, I've always warned our fighters about
cutting back to much on your fat intake.

LOW-FAT DEAD

     The American public has been told to reduce dietary fat for the
last 30 years with the justification that it would lead to better
weight loss, lower plasma cholesterol and reduced heart disease and
cancer risk. An enormous amount of effort has been put forth to
subsequently test that hypothesis.

In fact, the biggest study ever to test the
effects of reducing fat cost an estimated $415 million dollars and the
results of that study were just published in a series of studies in
the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study involved
just under 20,000 women who were instructed to reduce fat and increase
intake of vegetables, fruits, and grains. The control group included
nearly 30,000 women who maintained their normal diet. After a mean
follow up of 8.1 years, the intervention group successfully reduced
fat by 8% and this resulted in a decrease in blood cholesterol levels.
However, there were absolutely no differences in the incidence of any
heart disease. Other studies published from this database indicated
little effect on weight loss and no effect on risk of getting cancer.


These findings provide compelling evidence to reconsider the premise
that reducing dietary fat is the healthiest dietary approach. The link
between dietary fat restriction, cholesterol reduction and heart
disease has always been tenuous at best. It is too bad we spent 415
million to try and prove a faulty hypothesis. A significant amount of
research has shown benefits of lower carbohydrate diets that are
higher in protein and healthy fats.

I am in Austin,TX and would like to train in Savate for the street not the ring.

Can anyone give me any info on clubs in the state of Texas and were I can find
in
struction in Savate?

There is a guy in Laredo but I went on his sight and saw that 90% of his
students
havew not kept up with the system or left it all together?

I think it is Savate Dans Derue or something of that nature and it is located 
in Laredo
Texas and is way to far for me.
