The sport of French Kick Boxing (Le Boxe Francaise) is often called "Savate" as this is the art from which the sport developed.

I do not insist that the sport be called "Le Boxe Francaise" rather than "Savate", but "Le Boxe Francaise" is really just kickboxing, whereas true Savate, or "Street Savate" includes grappling, knife fighting and cane fighting.
I teach GREAMA. Greco-Roman European American Martial Arts. Boxing and Wrestling are the best known, followed by Savate and Pankration (Pahn-krah-tea-own).

Some American styles are:
*Throw Wrestling (aka Stand-up Wrestling).
*Throw Fighting (aka Stand-up Fighting; above + kickboxing)
*Submission Wrestling (aka Catch Wrestling, Hook Wrestling)
*Submission Fighting (above + kickboxing)
Words you can keep
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.

savage not average 

savage not average — a maxim for people who have moved beyond a mere “attitude of gratitude” and want to use their god given human talents to do more than just wait for a blessing.

A person who is savage and not average is a trail blazer.

While it is prudent to be thankful for what we receive; it is also possible to participate in the creativity of the universe by adding our own actions to universal processes to “help things along”. It’s the difference between carrying water from a river vs. digging a deep well and installing pipes and infrastructure.

If you notice that you are usually the first to try something difficult endeavors; but after you prove it can be done others follow in your footsteps you, my friend, are savage not average.
Take the world by the balls and be savage not average!

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
