Information for members: Savate Grading 26th Nov - results |
You can train in kickboxing for fitness, for fun or as a competitive sport. Savate kickboxing originated in France around 1830. This stylish art combines effective hand strikes and dynamic kicks. We have beginners courses and entry level classes that are safe and enjoyable, and will teach you the skills you need to progress into one of our more challenging advanced classes. We also have a junior class for children aged 7 to 13 years. Savate was a demonstration sport in the Paris Olympic Games in 1924. There are many opportunities to compete, for those who would like to. The Great Britain Savate Federation has an annual league, see our members page for Academy national champions! Several members of the Academy have represented Great Britain in World and European Championships. In 2006, Signe Gundersen (70-76kg) was awarded a bronze medal in the World Assaut Championships. Other Academy competitors were: Agnès Aubert (under 48kg), instructor Julie Gabriel (52-56kg), Morgan Alexander (65-70kg), Simon Whitmore (82-89kg) and Mikael Andersson (over 89kg). Old style savate looked a little different, using the out-stretched arm for balance, and to achieve a slightly longer range. Now, we prefer to protect our heads!
