savate
French Kickboxing or le boxe francaise, a martial art that originally started in the 19th century as a collection of streetfighting techniques.
The name 'savate' translates to 'old shoe' in French, referring to heavy shoes worn in fights.
The style became recognizable as the art practiced today when in 1830 Charles Lecour combined English boxing with the old streetfighting system.
