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.
