A FRI 8/3
6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
The first part of this 5 part seminar is an introduction focusing on the basis for a Savate practice. Teaching will include static and dynamic situation drills which will underscore the mechanics of Savate. In applications with a partner, we will introduce footwork, distance & positioning, and reaction time. An emphasis will be put on correct executions of Savate combinations using the front, side, and back steps in order to understand the distancing problems specific to Savate. These combinations will also teach how to mix different ranges and put varied techniques together.

B SAT 8/4
10 a.m. - 12 p.m.
This session will develop a proper Savate defensive organization. Starting with basic defensive techniques including blocks, parries, and evasions. The goal is to teach students the use of a constant motion in order to become elusive targets while being in position to stop any attack and/or counter attack.

C SAT 8/4
2:00 - 4:00 p.m.
The theme of this session will deal with planning and organizing an offensive strategy. Proposing a variety of faking techniques to destabilize an opponent including body movements, multiple kicks, line & technique changes, as well as cornering and angle changes.

D SAT 8/4
4:15 - 6:15 p.m.
This session will deal with the different aspects of Savate ring strategies. It will blend all different aspects covered in the preceding sessions with a direct application of the different forms of competitions, the use of the ring in general, and of the ropes in particular.


E SUN 8/5
10 a.m. - 12 p.m.
This session is a direct preparation to the rank testing. It covers the diverse technique progression as well as each of the glove requirements (color or silver).
