Toujours plus nombreux, toujours plus formés, toujours plus motivés, voilà ce qui peut être dit à propos des participants du camp identitaire qui s'est achevé ...

It's great you posted on Savate, which originated as a practical defense system against urban thuggery, rampant in Belle Époque Paris. Low, not high, kicks, due to their greater reliability and minimal telegraphing (faster flicking action from the knee, not hip). The hard boot edge or point does the work of inflicting intense, debilitating pain.

“Don’t forget that the foot with a shoe is a strong weapon, but it must strike sensitive areas in order to immediately end a fight. A violent kick thrown without precision will have less effect than a much lighter kick delivered at the right spot. In the real world there is no point to simply hurt your opponent , if he is dangerous this would only upset him and multiply his anger and strength, we must, I insist, end the fight immediately”.

Note also that the street gangs developed a dance routine that effectively trained for assaults (à la BJJ?). In the dance form, you see a benign template for what could be a lethal choking, strangling, unbalancing attack in the street. Kindly observe the man's manhandling:

Clinches, bear-hugs, grapplings, face-wipe, what's not love about this dancing?

OK, indulge me just once more!

Rough house on the dance floor, Apache-style. There's some fantastic (martial) athleticism on show here. Add chairs, knives and bottles and you've got a well-choreographed saloon-brawl ending.

Bob—thanks for these posts! Very cool stuff!

this is basically muay thai. You see a lot of videos of guys kicking pads high because it's hard to hold the pads low and you can get kicked in the face and ktfo.

A lot of these guys need to put on muscle/gain weight.

Here's a good example of a typical Savate low kick. First, the hands are thrown up to distract, then the blow is delivered low to the tibia. (Shoes, of course, in real life).

This guy has some good points about the low shin kick from the Savate portfolio. The other thing to mention is that it doesn't require athletic virtuosity or flexibility to work.
