| 2007 Windy City Savate Seminar
This year's Chicago seminar covered a great deal of ground for our new members as well as our instructors. Major topics included:
The entire 16 Count set of hand entries and applications:
Embaketa Haize with applications
The complete catalogue of canne d'arme & canne de
combat strikes
La Larga: defenses & counters with the big bowie
knife
The 3 Attitudes of attack/defense: embaketa (slice),
gilditu (stop), ledradura (slip)
The 3 takedown manipulations: lamiak, gaugako, sugaar
The complete catalogue of Danse de Rue Savate kicks
Lutte: anti-grappling & takedown counters to
strikes, kicks, and shoot attempts
Like I said, a LOT of ground! Some of us
are sore this week from having our rear ends tossed to the deck more often
than the
“cleaner's” mop. One thing guys, I plan to wear a hockey glove
when feeding Larga strikes from now forth. It's a bitch to get old aint' it? I cannot recommend enough to work constantly on developing your basic fundamentals. As a boxing coach, I always told my fighters: “All boxing is basic boxing.” And it is true. As you progress in DDRS, you do not necessarily learn “new” information, but what you do
learn is how to apply what you already know in new and better ways.
But the only way to make that happen is to master your basics: Blue/Green/Red
level material. People who do this are the ones who are able to pull this
stuff off. It all comes back to your grasp of pugilism (boxing) you learn
during the first three grades. This understanding is key. Keep training &
stay safe.
