In terms of jabs I have a fairly straightforward thought process. There are 4 separate jabs in Boxe Francaise Savate (And I would say striking as a whole). The conventional boxing jab, the fouette bas avant, the chasse lateral bas avant, and the chasse frontal median avant. All of which are capable of closing the gap or being used as a prefix to follow with punches or kicks. The key however is each technique is used for a different distance. Chasse Lateral Bas the longest, followed by the Fouette Bas, Chasse Frontal, and lastly the conventional jab. The Chasse Frontal and Fouette best for landing into punching range due to the position where the foot lands, the chasse best to keep the longest distance and potentially spinning. In regards to the Chasse Frontal, I was taught by my Professeur to keep the knee very high when you throw the frontal (Like putting on a pair of pants was the old line) so I chamber my knee quite high, up close to my lead shoulder, and I spring with my back leg as I thrust the kick out. My posture stays tall and I keep that support leg under me. I also fully extend my lead hip out to get as much reach and power as I can. I'd say the real key to making sure each of these have a low defensive cost as jabs is re-armoring. All of the movements can be minimized by properly staying balanced and circling that knee back nice and high so you can efficiently return to your stance.
I saw 2 jabs as you were moving back at the 2:09 spot. I think throwing strikes while moving back is great against an opponent like this when youve got your speed and they tend to charge more. Wondering if a chasse can be employed that way.
Awesome video with great sparring break down. Always good to train with you and have a chance to chat. Can’t wait to do it again! Thanks for the shoutout 🥊🔥🙏
Hi James, for what it's worth. I see much more flow and less struggle. Very effective that touch inside the right leg of your opponent. It distracts for a moment which gives time to do a follow up technique. Jon is not the guy where it is wise to have a frontal punching exchange. Than better use your excellent foodwork. I would suggest use a long jab and immediately change your angle and use a long distance kick to score.
I like it. It was only after watching this dozens of times for the edit that I noticed that the jab was working better than I remembered. More footwork, jab to set- up kicks might be a good idea. Thanks again! (Trouble is that Jon is a jabber and will react to the jab well if I try this kind of trick).
James I've always been wondering, let's say a savate practioner wants to be a pro kickboxer, they want to compete in GLORY, K1 etc. Are there any savate teachers that teach you how to kick without the shoes? I know there are some savate fighters who went to learn muay thai or Kyokushin karate
There are trainers who can help you adapt and a good coach should be about to help you achieve things that aren't necessarily in their skill set. My own view is that kicks are only Savate kicks when delivered with a boot on, but maybe that's just semantics.

Thank you for the instructions and the way of thinking ......
I can imagine what will happen if the force restrictions in Savate are removed. Beautiful technique, like ballet in the ring
