I cant imagine having to wear my dress uniform, climb a mountain, and light up the enemy. That just sounds like the definition of suck.

This looks like the kind of martial arts you practice in a cheesy musical about some star struck lovers.

I mean it looks great as a synchronized dance but if I see that next to a polynesian Haka, I know what I’d be more scared of.

A routine like this is meant to train coordination, discipline and unity. The comments here seem to be under the impression that they would use this dance on the battlefield lol

That’s what we were doing behind The Maginot Line in 1940, we’re still processing what went wrong

It’s like shadowboxing, or training on specific moves you can cookie-cut as situations call for them

Imagine getting your arse handed to you by a guy in a floppy hat that smells of wine and garlic that then hops away.

The French: We need a martial art but non available are as sassy. Let’s make a sassy one.

This is why france has never won a war in history
You gotta know it!!!
It’s electric!! (boogie woogie, woogie)
Now you can’t hold it
It’s electric! (boogie woogie, woogie)
But you know it’s there…..Here, there and everywhere
How is this better quality than a TV show filmed in the 90s
French can can would have been less ridiculous
Lets fight like gentleman
Looks ridiculous but there’s been some a* fighters from this school, early UFC had a bunch Gerard Gordeau got to the final using Savate.
Other savateurs have competed in MMA, such as Bellator Light Heavyweight Champion Christian M’Pumbu, Karl Amoussou and Cheick Kongo.
Cupid shuffle
I was listening to bob marley when this appeared in my feed and it syncs pretty well imo.
You spelled DANCING incorrectly
Is there at least footage of someone actually practicing Savate? I really just want to see how a sparring session looks.
